A study was conducted to investigate how members of anti-genetically modified (GM) campaign groups and environment groups perceive the risks and benefits of GM technology in food and agriculture. The results showed differences of opinion regarding the degree of risk to health posed by the technology, and women and people living in rural areas, on average, ranked risks more highly than men and people living in urban areas.
