The public perception of novel food ['GMO food'] was surveyed on representative sample of Polish society and on Polish biotechnologists. More than a half society is ready to accept the novel food, however under several restrictions: labelling and government supervision. About one third of the society is strongly against the new technologies in food production. The biotechnologists in majority declare the positive future effects of genetic engineering [about 4% of the experts is in opposition to this optimistic view]. The lay people [about 2/3] as well as the experts [90 %] believe in the positive outcome of modern genetics on the quality of food and they see the new methods as the solution for world hunger. In general we noticed unexpected high support for novel food.

Public perception of biotechnology in Poland in years 1998-2000 was surveyed. In the survey in general the scheme of research of Eurobarometer was followed. Based on the data of last three years the changes of the opinion of Polish society in comparison to the European data were presented. About 10% reduction of the public trust and willingness to accept biotechnology was found in all social groups, except well educated, well finances group, aged 20-30 years. The conclusion is simple only the social, permanent education will improved public perception of modern technology.

Continuing our research on public perception of modern biotechnology in Poland this time we surveyed the knowledge of modern biotechnology between Poles. The representative sample of Polish society (over 1000 Poles aged over 15 years) answered questions like: did you eat genes for breakfast?, are genes in tomato?, is BSE a product of genetic engineering? We found surprisingly good familiarity (awareness) of background biotechnology. Over 40% of Poles know that all tomatoes contain genes, over 20% eat genes for breakfast and one third know that BSE is not a result of genetic engineering.
