Science and technology are embedded in virtually every aspect of modern life. As a result,
people face an increasing need to integrate information from science with their personal …

CRISPR gene-editing has major implications for agriculture and food security. However, no
studies have evaluated the public acceptance and valuation of CRISPR-produced food. As …

The food consumer plays an increasingly prominent role in shaping the food and farming
system. A better understanding of how public policies affect consumer choice and how those …

This paper explores heterogeneity in consumer preferences for foods and policies that relate
to different innovative plant breeding technologies. As a starting point in our analysis, we …

Previous studies, as well as market sales data, show some consumers are willing to pay a
premium for redundant or superfluous food labels that carry no additional information for the …

Due to its ability to achieve genetic engineering goals without transgene modifications, gene‐
editing is fast becoming a predominant genetic‐engineering breeding technique and a …

Consumers' preferences for products derived from genetic improvements and innovations in
plant breeding are often conditioned by technophobia and negative public imaginaries. The …

New gene editing techniques, such as CRISPR‐Cas9, have created the potential for rapid
development of new gene‐edited food (GEF) products. Unlike genetically modified organism …

This paper examines a remedy for a defect in existing accounts of public risk perceptions.
The accounts in question feature two dynamics: the affect heuristic, which emphasizes the …

This study used a national survey to examine how information that compared and contrasted
gene editing with other breeding techniques, as well as a narrative, influenced both attitudes …
