PUBLIC PERCEPTIONS OF AGRICULTURAL BIOTECHNOLOGY: A SURVEY OF NEW JERSEY RESIDENTS

No 18170, Research Reports from Rutgers University, Food Policy Institute

Abstract: Biotechnology is expected to produce significant economic and environmental benefits as a result of the development of new varieties of plants and animals and improved agricultural productivity. Seen by many as a key technology for the 21st century, and as an economic stimulus for the State of New Jersey and for the Nation, biotechnology has been the subject of intense scientific and public debate. Yet, while experts and activists continue to argue, genetic engineering techniques are already leading to agricultural products that may soon be on supermarket shelves.
