A survey of the GM industry in Saskatchewan and western Canada : Survey of the genetically modified food industry in Saskatchewan and western Canada

A preliminary analysis of the economic impact of biotechnology in Saskatchewan SIPP wishes to acknowledge the contribution of the contributors. [...] During the 1970’s, the science of molecular biology provided the tools to breeders and researchers to propel the field of genetic technology into a whole new realm of scientific precision. [...] At the same time, media coverage of the early negative reactions to GM food production and research in parts of the European Union and Asia have made citizens in Canada and the United States suspicious, even if citizens in both countries have traditionally shown a greater acceptance of GM food. [...] Most members of the public lack the scientific sophistication of the pro-GM voices as well as the political sophistication of the anti-GM side. [...] A poll conducted by Pollara Research and Earnscliffe Research and Communications in early 2000, concluded that the awareness of biotechnology is growing but the depth of knowledge of the field remains low, and there is increased levels of concern accompanied by greater interest in regulation and research into the impacts of biotechnology applications.
