Abstract

The success or failure of food technologies in society depends to a large extent on the public interest, concerns, images, and expectations surrounding them. This paper delves into the landscape of public attitudes towards gene-edited foods in Japan, exploring the reasons behind the acceptance or rejection of these products. A literature review and preliminary findings from a survey conducted in Japan in 2022, aim to identify key issues crucial for evaluating societal acceptance of gene-edited foods. The study showed that the public view gene-edited foods as somewhat unnatural, but upon closer examination, significant variation in attitudes was observed among respondents. Some respondents expressed a favorable perception towards gene-edited foods, particularly those that benefit consumers, while others expressed concerns about its perceived artificiality. Moreover, a significant number of respondents displayed indifference or lack of clear perspective regarding gene-edited foods. These findings reflect the complex relationship between public attitudes, naturalness, and social acceptance of gene-edited foods. Furthermore, the study indicates the importance of paying close attention to those who refrain from expressing their viewpoints in the survey. This nuanced landscape warrants further exploration.

探索日本公众对基因编辑食品的态度。
食品技术在社会中的成败在很大程度上取决于公众对其的兴趣、关注、形象和期望。本文深入探讨了日本公众对基因编辑食品的态度,探讨了这些产品被接受或被拒绝背后的原因。文献综述和 2022 年在日本进行的一项调查的初步结果,旨在确定评估社会对基因编辑食品接受程度的关键问题。研究表明,公众认为基因编辑食品有些不自然,但仔细研究后发现,受访者之间的态度存在显著差异。一些受访者对基因编辑食品,尤其是对那些有益于消费者的食品表示好感,而另一些受访者则对其被认为的人工性表示担忧。此外,还有相当多的受访者对基因编辑食品表现出漠不关心或缺乏明确的观点。这些发现反映了公众对基因编辑食品的态度、天然性和社会接受度之间的复杂关系。此外,这项研究还表明,必须密切关注那些在调查中不表达观点的人。这种微妙的情况值得进一步探讨。
