ABSTRACT

Paraguay is integrated into the world mainly through its agricultural activity. The population’s perception of genetically engineered crops is relevant to design communication strategies that convey the advantages and limitations of the various technologies used in the country. We aimed to know the perception of the population of four Departments of the country where such crops are grown through a survey, which revealed a low level of knowledge about genetically engineered crops in general, and specifically about the effects of genetically engineered crops on production, nutrition, and the environment. Respondents expressed a willingness to receive information on genetically engineered crops, in particular from the National Government and the Health Sector.

摘要

巴拉圭主要通过其农业活动融入世界。人们对转基因作物的看法与设计传达该国使用的各种技术的优点和局限性的传播策略有关。我们旨在通过一项调查了解该国四个种植此类作物的部门的人口看法，该调查揭示了对一般转基因作物的了解程度较低，特别是对转基因作物对生产的影响的知识水平，营养和环境。受访者表示愿意接收有关转基因作物的信息，特别是来自国家政府和卫生部门的信息。
