Public knowledge and perceptions of safety issues towards the use of genetically modified forest trees: A cross-country pilot survey

Information on public awareness and acceptance issues regarding the use of genetically modified (GM) trees in forestry is lacking, although such information is available for GM organisms in agriculture. This is mainly due to the fact that the use of GM forest trees in Europe is very limited. To address this issue and within the frame of a European COST Action on the Biosafety of Transgenic Forest Trees (FP0905), a KAP (Knowledge Attitude Practice) cross-country pilot survey was conducted using University students of different disciplines as sampling subjects. In total, 1920 completed questionnaires from 16 European and non-European countries were evaluated. The results provided novel cross- country insights on the trends in public knowledge, and perceptions of safety issues related to the use of GM forest trees, as well as the trends in people’s attitude towards the ac- ceptance of GM forest tree cultivation. The majority of the respondents, that was more than 60% in all coun-tries, approved the use of GM forest trees for commercial plantations, ex- cluding natural forests. The majority of respondents also appeared willing to buy products from such plantations, such as wood products, pulp and paper. Over 80% of the respondents from all countries were in favour of using labeling to identify products of GM origin, while more than 80% of those would prefer that this labeling be legally mandated. The top three potential benefits that were rated as very important in all countries involved the lower demand of the GM forest plantations for pes-ticides, the potential of GM forest trees for restoration of contaminated soils and the potential higher GM forest tree productivity. The top three GM forest tree risks that were perceived as serious hazards in all countries included the loss of biodiversity due to gene flow between transgenic and wild trees, the adverse effects of bio-trophic processes on host ecosystems and the cultural adaptation to changing biodiversity conditions. Overall, lack of knowledge regarding the benefits and potential risks of the cultivation of GM forest trees was observed in almost all surveyed countries.
