The impacts and acceptance of agricultural biotechnology: an introduction to the special issue

David Zilberman and Justus Wesseler

Environment and Development Economics, 2014, vol. 19, issue 6, 669-675

Abstract: Attitudes towards and acceptance of agricultural biotechnology, which involves inserting genes that carry new traits into existing varieties, has been subject to much debate. This special issue aims to address several gaps in the literature on genetically modified (GM) technology in agriculture. Some of the papers in the issue address the economic and health aspects of genetic modification in agriculture while others examine consumers’ attitudes towards GM products, and the marketing and labeling of GM products.
