Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, we conducted a survey to clarify consumer attitudes toward agricultural products produced by combining new technologies such as plant factories and genome editing, the factors that influence these attitudes, and the effects of providing information on safety and systems. Web-based surveys conducted in Japan and in the United States, Singapore, and Finland revealed that consumers' information access behavior and attitudes differ from country to country, and that their interest in and value of the technology and their trust in food safety initiatives have a significant impact on them.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究は、パス解析を用いて、新しい食品技術に対する消費者の態度に影響する要因間の因果関係を明らかにした。特に、こうしたモデルにおいて消費者の情報入手行動の違いを考慮に入れる必要性を示したことは、新技術を活用した食品に対する消費者行動分析分野における学術的知識の蓄積に貢献すると同時に、新しい食品技術に対する消費者の理解向上に向けた啓発活動や科学コミュニケーションなどにとって有益な情報を提供する。
