GMO, have made a big splash in the news lately as it is helping the farmers grow plants well. It is also helping the vegetable products maintain it's consistency in its harvest. Even though Genetically Modified Organisms have the potential to solve the world's hunger and malnutrition problems there are many challenges ahead for governments especially in the areas of safety testing, regulation, international policy and food labeling. There are many concerns about GMO mostly under the categories of Environmental Hazards, Human Health Risk and Economic Concerns. Because of these concerns about GMO many people are protesting against GMO. For example, European environmental organizations and public interest groups have been actively protesting against GMO for months. And this leads to our research: Do Singaporeans know what is GMO is, and if so, what are their attitude/opinion towards it?
We would like to know if Singapore share the same mindset as of the European Environmental Organizations as stated above. Or they are fine with the GMO Foods. If they really do mind about GMO Foods, from the research, we would know what are the measures to be taken(labeling food products) if the Singaporeans mind GMO products. Hence, in order to find out the attitude and opinions of Singaporeans on GMO, we would like to conduct surveys and interviews on Singaporeans of all ages. And from the results, we can do what is best for the Singaporeans and GMO Products.
This should go under the Introduction Tab. Pls move it.
