Examining Cultural Perceptions of Biotechnology In Food Systems Understanding the GMO food debate is complex. In the public sphere, the use of biotechnology to produce food is fueled by consumer skepticism. The views on food safety are polarizing - citizens and scientists differ. Whether science is used to close the gap between social groups has yet to be determined. Research findings and policy making pathways are almost non-existent for underrepresented groups. Among Blacks, government distrust and mistrust have historical meaning and real implications. Some Blacks remain skeptical of government and are skeptical of genetic engineering, too. Key to responsible innovation is the potential to unlock meaningful pathways into underrepresented communities. Links & Resources - Berry-James, R. M. (2019, March).
