Abstract:
Genome editing (GE) has emerged as a technology that could revolutionize food and agricultural production. While its advent has evoked enthusiasm for a more sustainable food system, there exists heterogeneity in regulations and public opinions regarding the technology. This review discusses evidence on the implications of government regulations on GE, and perceptions of genome-edited (GEd) food and related regulations. The review highlights consumers\' positive attitude and preference for GEd foods when compared with genetically modified foods, despite the limited awareness and knowledge of GE technology. While policy changes might trigger debates, providing tailored benefits, information to consumers could further improve their attitude toward GE.
摘要:
基因组编辑(GE)已经成为一种可以彻底改变食品和农业生产的技术。虽然它的出现激起了人们对更可持续粮食系统的热情,关于这项技术的法规和公众意见存在异质性。这篇评论讨论了政府法规对通用电气的影响的证据,以及对基因组编辑(GEd)食品和相关法规的看法。该评论强调了与转基因食品相比,消费者对GEd食品的积极态度和偏好,尽管对GE技术的认识和知识有限。虽然政策变化可能引发辩论,提供量身定制的好处,向消费者提供的信息可以进一步改善他们对通用电气的态度。
