In a special survey called Food 2024 the Public Opinion Research Centre at the Institute of Sociology, Czech Academy of Sciences, surveyed the Czech public for its opinions on genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and crops (GM crops) used to produce the food we consume.
The significant majority of respondents (82%) surveyed said that were familiar with the term ‘genetically modified crops’. Just one-tenth of them (10%) said they knew what it means, almost half (48%) said they had a rough idea, and almost one-quarter (24%) said they had heard the term but did not know what it means.
More than a fifth (21%) of Czech citizens consider genetic modification of crops to be morally unacceptable.
More than half (56%) of respondents said they would be willing to take medicine produced with genetically modified organisms.
