Growers for Biotechnology — June 23, 2010
“Consumer Perceptions of Food Technology,” a newly released report from the International Food Information Council (IFIC) found that an overwhelming percentage of consumers will favor foods that are produced through biotechnology based on environmental benefits and sustainable agricultural practices.
It found that while overall consumer awareness of food biotechnology use remains low, as more consumers learned more about the benefits to animal health, food quality, and environmental impact, more than half of the consumers had a favorable impression of animal biotechnology use.
