公众对转基因作物的质疑和争论,实质上反映了人类社会对现代农业生物科技的认知正在走入困境,主要表现在:公众知识结构的缺损、政府权宜宣传的干扰、媒体与公众的非理性互动等。走出这种认知困境,有赖于科学家的积极参与以及对科技与社会互动规律的整体反思。 Public doubts and controversies about genetically modified crops, in essence, reflect the fact that human society is becoming more aware of modern agricultural biotechnology. This is mainly manifested in the defects of the public knowledge structure, the disruption of government expediency advocacy, the irrationality of the media and the public Interaction and so on. To get out of this cognitive predicament depends on the active participation of scientists and the overall reflection on the law of interaction between science and technology and society.
