Do you support the use of genetically engineered crops and foods?

Yes but not be able to patent seeds and require the lableling of foods that are genetically modified

Yes, however more research should be done about the harmful effects. So far the concerns are allergies, cancer and environmental issues.

Yes but only if they are ethically distributed and grown and all foods are labelled and seeds are not patented.

I think gene modification plant to plant is good, but animal genes in plants is bad and should be labeled

Only if full research done to check food is safe for consumption and nutritional value is not reduced

Yes, but not at the expense of our Agriculture industry, and require labeling for genetically modified foods

Yea but they need to be labelled as genetically modified however not at the expense of farming and agriculture only as a addition

Yes, and remove the moratorium on GE! Genetic research (and all research) should not ever be banned or curtailed by politicians and public ignorance. This has set us back.

Don’t care as long as it taste the same

Yes, but where adequate testing and regulation have been included.

Yes but should be a governing body to oversee the safety

Yes with a governing body to oversee the safe introduction of food

No, and producers shouldn't be able to patent seeds anyway

Yes but the GM seeds to be grown in vertical farms as to not have seeds travel to organic farms.

All crops are genetically modified to some extent by selective breeding do this seems irrelevant.

Yes but make sure they are safe

Yes, bit not for the sole purpose of using more herbicide

Yes, only if robust science has first demonstrated no impact on the environment and humans

Yes, but only if there are strict laws about ownership of crops and crops offsprings (and any species containing the modified genetic material) modified by companies

No, GMOs have been proven to allow pests to grow more resilient, and GMOs could potentially out-compete other crops, destroying biodiversity.

This must be highly regulated for safety, labelled on foods and they should not be able to patent seeds.

Everything throughout time has been genetically modified by humans. I don't understand why it's such a big deal.

Yes but only after they’ve been used successfully overseas for 5 years or more with no adverse reactions.

Depends on what chemicals are involved and the impact it has on the enviroment.

Yes but highly regulated

Yes, but with strict management and control and labelling of GM foods.

Expand and contract with Donald trump reason catch on surveillance about food wise bakery and deli meats

if its safe

Yes if commercially viable and financially better off. But label's

NO - NEVER - and especially not in areas where they can pollute other farmers with pollen and modified gene stock - it makes no sense - there is a rapidly increasing world wide market for clean organic food - we can make much better export market with premium clean food than with genetically modified food which is not even accepted by many countries as an import item - for example China one of our largest trading partners

Yes, but strict regulations on the ability of companies to patent biological organisms and genomes need to be developed first and companies will need to accept full liability for unforeseen negative consequences for health, the environment etc.

Yes, if producers cannot be patent seeds AND labelling of such foods in mandatory.

Yes, but I support the use of genetically engineered crops and foods to be able to save other crops and food from going extinct.

Yes, but only for adapting certain crop species to environmental conditions (I.e., drought, rainfall, climatic factors). Not for pesticide tolerance. And produces should not be able to patent seeds.

yes but we NEED to stop using palm oil

yes but there should be a commitee which decides what is ethical and right.

We need to know more about the impacts; in any case, labelling must be explicit and easily understood.

Yes, but keep heavy regulation on plants to ensure they don't become pests or drain the ecosystem.

If you could create drought/typhoon resistant super charged nutrient dense foods that looked after poor nations and replaced processed foods in industrialised nations, that would be amazing. However, evidence is creeping through that GE foods are detrimental to our health, lacking nutritional value or messing up the natural balance. Grown for looks and keeping qualities, not nutrition.

I don't have enough information to make an informed decision

yes but mandatory labeling and no patenting

Yes - providing that good sound reasoning and not for great profiteering.

Yes, so long as it doesn't reduce the health benefits of natural non-genetically modified foods.

Only where their nutritional content and safety for consumption is verifiable, AND where they are commercially labelled as GM food.

yes but only genetic modification of plants, not animals

Yes if proven safe to humans and environment

No, with the exception of synthesised alternatives to meat.

Yes, after they’ve been used overseas for 5 or more years and are proven safe.

People whose farms become contaminated with GM crops should not be required to pay for the "unlicensed" crop.
