Interviews and opinions about GMO and Yoghurt +
We wanted to know more about peoples opinion about genetically modified organisms and how their opinion would affect the success our conceptual product “Yoghurt+”. This was also a easy way to reach out to people about synthetic biology and what we do. Also we wanted to know how well informed responsible politicians are in this matter and what they thought about GMO and our project. Go to politicians interviews.
Interviews about GMO with people from Uppsala
50 persons were interviewed in the central parts of Uppsala at mid day. We tried to ask people from all ages and genders equally. The following graph shows the gender distribution.
We started the interview by asking people if they knew what the abbreviation GMO stands for.
In Europe, there is a restricted use of GMO. What is the reason for this? We wanted to find out more about this, so we decided to talk with politicians in this matter. We also wanted compare their knowledge and opinions to the general public, from our interviews.
