Introduction

In the last two decades, the social controversy over the benefits and harms in health and the environment about transgenic food (TF) [1], as well as concerns about the monopoly of world trade, the reliability of public institutions, the integrity of regulatory agencies, the loss of both individual and ethical choice, and the future of food supply, have kept the national and international public discussion alive [2].
