Controversy about research showing that GM pasture will not deter tourists from visiting New Zealand

A University of Otago survey of tourists concludes that it is highly unlikely that the introduction of genetically-modified drought-tolerant pasture to New Zealand would have long-term adverse effects on this country’s ‘clean green’ image overseas. The survey involved interviews with 515 first-time overseas visitors (261 males and 254 females, with ages ranging from 20 to over 70) at Auckland International Airport.
