Project description
This PhD evaluates genetic modification (GM) technology from the farmers' and consumers' perspective. The field work targets consumers to analyze behavioral intentions towards GM biofortified crops, while assessing the impact of information and expectations, but also farmers to measure the disparity between their intention and actual behavior toward the adoption of BT Eggplant as a GM crop.
