Abstract

There is a significant gap in farmer acceptability of genetically modified plants for production in several countries throughout the world, as well as in the major markets for food, feed, and factory usage. This paper analyzes the progress of agricultural biotechnology's practical applications with different trajectories, which affect the evolution of bacterial resistance genes, viral resistance genes, and fungal resistance genes. This has also influenced the views of customers and processors. Perceptions of risks and advantages, knowledge and trust, and personal values are all key elements that influence consumer attitudes. Some customers have expressed concerns about transgenic crops as a result of the new breeding techniques; nonetheless, it is unclear how consumers' attitudes about them will evolve. If they focused less on technologies and more on common goals and values, public trust and information about agricultural biotechnology would be more fruitful.

Highlights

  • Growth of Agricultural Biotechnology After first transgenic plants were created in the laboratory, genetically modified food crops were introduced in common markets

  • Many customers are concerned about their financial situation. They are concerned about patenting, the negative effects of genetically modified (GM) crops on small farmers and their potential contribution to global inequality, the growing influence of multinational corporations on the food supply, or the perception that large corporations are the primary beneficiaries of agricultural biotechnology, while the consumer bears the risk

  • GM plant varieties mostly used as feed are widely accepted in international commodity commerce, while certified non-GM crops are a niche industry

Summary

Introduction

1. Growth of Agricultural Biotechnology After first transgenic plants were created in the laboratory, genetically modified food crops were introduced in common markets. 2.2 Importance of GM Crops as Food Some benefits of genetic engineering in agriculture are increase crop yields, reduced costs for food or drug production, reduced need for pesticides, enhanced nutrient composition, and food quality and resistance pests and disease, greater food security and medical benefits to the worlds growing population.
