Survey Shows Food Safety, GMOs Among Public-Issue Concerns For Floridians
December 9, 2014 A survey released by the University of Florida’s Public Issues in Education (PIE) Center shows the state’s residents have many concerns about food safety and genetically modified foods, but want to know more.
Survey respondents rated 10 public-issue topics based on their importance. The economy, health care and water were at the top of the list, deemed by respondents as most important. Food production landed just lower than housing and foreclosures and just ahead of immigration in terms of importance.
The online survey reached 524 Florida adult residents. The responses were weighted to balance geographic, age, gender, race, and ethnicity data to ensure the information was representative of the state’s population.
Check out the infographic video below to learn about some of the survey results.
The PIE Center will host a webinar at 2 p.m. on Dec. 17 to dive deeper into the food survey topic. Then on Jan. 28 at 1 p.m., the center will host a second webinar with Rumble and Alison Van Eenennaam, an animal genomics and biotechnology expert from the University of California, Davis, to discuss the survey’s findings on genetically modified foods.
