“…Production of transgenic crops takes place primarily outside of Europe (Niemirowicz-Szczytt 2012) . The main producers of transgenic plants is the USA, where over 73 million ha of crops were registered in 2014, followed by Brazil (over 42 million ha), Argentina (over 24 million ha), India and Canada (nearly 12 million ha each), accounting for 85% of the area of transgenic crops (Michalczyk 2016) .…”

“…The largest producer of GMO foods is the USA, and the legal standards there are characterized by a liberal approach to cultivation and marketing of GMO crops . In the EU, the quantity of transgenic crops is marginal in comparison with the leading producers, but the impact of these countries on international economic relations, including trade, is enormous (Michalczyk 2016) . Legal and institutional/organizational solutions implemented in the EU are aimed at restricting the use of GMOs, and have to do with the procedures and conditions for placing genetically modified food and feed on the market, cultivating transgenic crops, and monitoring trade in GMOs .…”

In recent years genetically modified plants have become a subject of discussion not only among scientists but among consumers and politicians as well. This is a controversial issue, mainly due to the conflicting information appearing in the media concerning the properties of these plants, their impact on human health, and how they function in the natural environment. A survey was conducted to learn the opinions of students of Lublin universities regarding the cultivation and applications of genetically modified crops. The students surveyed claim to be familiar with issues associated with GMOs and express a desire to learn more about the subject, although their main sources of information are the Internet and television. They also perceive the need for the government to conduct a reliable information campaign on this subject. Their opinions on GMO plants are ambivalent; they have concerns about the cultivation and use of GMO plants, but also perceive the benefits that this biotechnology could provide.
