dc.description.abstract	The paper argues for an in-depth study of consumer attitudes and questions regarding genetically modified (GM) foods. Bt cotton (transgenic cotton, a genetically engineered cotton which carries its own insecticide within the plant tissues) has been on the market for some years. The anticipated release of Bt brinjal (eggplant or aubergine), the first GM food, has provoked confrontations between government agencies and civil society groups in India opposed to the release of GM foods. There is a clear public need for government regulation in the introduction of new GM agricultural products.	en
