“…Advocates of the use of genetic engineering techniques in food contend that this new biotechnology promises higher yields (Grunert et al 2000;Uzogara 2000;Moon and Balasubramanian 2001;Fritz et al 2003;Huang et al 2004;Chen and Li 2007;Martinez-Poveda et al 2009), lower prices (Huang et al 2004;Chen and Li 2007;Soregaroli et al 2003), less need for the use of both pesticides and herbicides (Grunert et al 2000;Moon and Balasubramanian 2001;Huang et al 2004;Martinez-Poveda et al 2009), longer shelf time (Zhong et al 2002); higher resistance to dry and excessive wet weather (Sheikhha et al 2006), improved nutritional quality and taste (Grunert et al 2000). Such benefits would promote agricultural productivity and hence increase food supplies for the growing population (Grunert et al 2000).…”

“…Such benefits would promote agricultural productivity and hence increase food supplies for the growing population (Grunert et al 2000). Increased efficiency would also reduce costs for farmers and prices for consumers (Chen and Li 2007) a . On the other hand, some individuals see risks ranging from general concerns to specific fears in the use of biotechnology in food production.…”

“…The study of consumers' attitudes b toward GM crops across cultures and regions in the world has been of great interest (Bredahl 2001;Moon and Balasubramanian 2001;Soregaroli et al 2003;Chen and Li 2007). European consumers have resisted GM foods since the commercial introduction of biotech seeds in the early 1990s.…”

While there has been a number of consumers' studies looking at factors that influence individuals' attitudes and behavior toward GM foods, few studies have considered agricultural professionals' intentions in this regard. This study illuminates agricultural professionals' insights toward GM foods in Southwest Iran. A random sample of 262 respondents was studied. The results indicated that the majority of the respondents had little knowledge about GM foods. They perceived few benefits or risks of GM foods.Their perceived benefits and trust in individuals and institutions had positive impacts on the behavioral intentions of the agricultural professionals. The results also revealed that the low knowledge level of the respondents had a negative impact on the behavioral intentions toward GM foods. This state of affairs is problematic, either GM foods have serious problems or the knowledge conveyed to the Iranian agricultural experts is inappropriate. We recommend a well defined communication strategy to provide 2 information in such a way that allows individuals to feel adequately informed about GM foods. Furthermore, the development of trust and knowledge regarding GM foods can be greater when risk analysis frameworks are transparent, risk assessment methodologies are objective, all stakeholders are engaged in the risk management process, and risk communication focuses on consumers.

“…Hal ini menyebabkan penyelidik-penyelidik terdahulu mengubah suai teori TPB dengan melakukan penambahan beberapa komponen lain seperti kepercayaan (Chen & Li 2007;Costa-Font & Gil 2009;Prati et al 2012), sikap umum (Chen 2008;Costa-Font & Gil 2012), nilai personal (Saher, Lindeman & Koivisto-Hursti 2006), dan risiko dan manfaat tertampak (Christoph, Bruhn & Roosen 2008;Prati et al 2012;Rodríguez-entrena & Salazar-ordóñez 2013) bagi memastikan ia boleh menjelaskan gelagat pengguna dengan lebih menyeluruh.…”

“…Hasil sorotan susastera mendapati pengetahuan dan maklumat tidak signifikan kepada pembentukan sikap pengguna terhadap GMF (Chen & Li 2007;Miles et al 2005;Verdurme, Gellynck & Viaene 2002) tetapi terdapat kajian yang merekodkan dapatan berbeza (Mather et al 2012;Teisl, Fein & Levy 2009). Rodríguez-entrena dan Salazar-ordóñez (2013) turut menekankan konstruk pengetahuan adalah paling tidak konsisten dalam mengukur sikap pengguna terhadap GMF.…”
