Biotechnology is a rapidly developing sector of the economy for coun tries throughout the world. This rapid development has led to heated debate over its risks and benefits. Advocates of biotechnology point to the potential benefits offered by products that promise to elimi nate disease, provide for more efficient diagnostic techniques, treatments and drugs, yield increased food production, and so forth. Others fear that the rapid developments of this technology have occurred without appropriate consideration having been given to the ethical ramifications, the potential health risks and long-term envi ronmental impacts, implications for income distribution, and potential for abuse. Consumers and producers share concern for the future of biotechnology: the realities and even the perceptions, informed or otherwise. This book is the outcome of a research project on Biotechnology and the Consumer sponsored by the Office of Consumer Affairs of Industry Canada. The project was designed to foster informed public policy on biotechnology and in particular, to contribute to and inform the Canadian government's development of a Canadian Biotechnology Strategy. The Office funded a group of authors to prepare a series of analytical papers on a range of consumer and informational issues related to biotechnology. This project also involved an interim workshop in which the authors presented their papers, and culmi nated in a symposium on Biotechnology and the Consumer Interest, held on September 24-25, 1997, in Ottawa, Canada.

To understand consumers' reaction to and perception of biotechnology, the Office of Consumer Affairs has undertaken a number of studies and focus group sessions. This report begins with some background information on biotechnology, framing it as a new and complex issue for consumers. Using survey and focus group results, the subsequent section summarizes consumer knowledge of, and reactions to, biotechnology. The third section highlights factors that influence consumers' attitudes toward biotechnology, including those mentioned in the focus groups. In particular, it focuses on those factors that impact on consumers' ability to analyze information. The fourth section examines two ways that marketplace barriers can be overcome, contrasting increased consumer awareness with more traditional legislative mechanisms. The concluding section outlines questions that need to be answered in order to determine which option provides a better solution to overcoming marketplace barriers.
