Abstract：
The production of genetically modified (GM) crops is growing around the world, and with it possible opportunities to combat food insecurity and hunger, as well as solutions to current problems facing conventional agriculture. In this regard the use of GMOs in food and agricultural applications has increased greatly over the past decade. However, the development of GM crops has been a matter of considerable interest and worldwide public controversy. This, in addition to skepticism, has stifled the use of this practice on a large scale in many areas, including Iran. It stands to reason that a greater understanding of this practice could be formed after a review of the existing expert opinions surrounding GM crops. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to analyze the predictors that influence agricultural experts\' attitudes toward the development of and policies related to GM crops. Using a descriptive correlational research method, questionnaire data was collected from 65 experts from the Agricultural Organization in the Gotvand district in Southwest Iran. Results indicated that agricultural experts were aware of the environmental benefits and possible risks associated with GM crops. The majority of participants agreed that GM crops could improve food security and accelerate rural development, and were proponents of labeling practices for GM crops. Finally, there was a positive correlation between the perception of benefits and attitudes towards GM crops.
摘要：
转基因（GM）作物的生产正在世界各地增长，并有可能与粮食不安全和饥饿作斗争的机会，以及解决当前传统农业面临的问题。在这方面，转基因生物在食品和农业应用中的使用在过去十年中大大增加。然而,转基因作物的发展一直是一个引起人们极大兴趣和全球公众争议的问题。这个,除了怀疑,扼杀了这种做法在许多地区的大规模使用，包括伊朗。按理说，在审查了有关转基因作物的现有专家意见之后，可以对这种做法有更多的了解。因此,这项研究的目的是分析影响农业专家对转基因作物发展和相关政策的态度的预测因素。采用描述性相关研究方法，问卷数据来自伊朗西南部Gotvand区农业组织的65名专家.结果表明，农业专家意识到与转基因作物相关的环境效益和可能的风险。大多数与会者一致认为，转基因作物可以改善粮食安全，加快农村发展，并且是转基因作物标签做法的支持者。最后,对转基因作物的益处和态度之间存在正相关。
