摘要：Even if genetically modified organisms (GMO`s) brought many benefits like greater yields, foods with higher nutritional value, vaccines, resistant plants to deseases, there is a controversial discussion regarding its acceptation and welcoming.There is missing information in regard to this topic especially in developing countries. In this framework this study tries to anlyse the controversions around the GMO and to evaluate the risks versus the benefits. There was also measured the level of knowledge or acceptance towards GMO’s and GM biotechnology by students from the Faculty of Environmental Engineering and Biotechnology of the Valahia University Targoviste, Romania, which are themselves food consumers. The researchers used a survey that had been used with good results in other countries. The results of this study demonstrated that students as food consumers and further food proccessors are not enought or even misinformed about this topic.The analysed population demonstated a good information on the risks of microbial contamination and pesticides than other topics.
