Survey of the Agreed Approach to Transgenic Technology in Iran's Agricultural Sector

The main purpose of this study is to investigate the agreed approach to transgenic technology in Iran's agricultural sector. To this end, using content analysis, the agreed approach to transgenic technology was examined. To collect the data, 23 researchers were interviewed. The findings show that the four factors of "environmental protection", "improving human health", "inevitability of attention to the agricultural system based on genetic engineering" and "non-acceptance of the claims of the opposition" are the reasons for agreeing to cultivate and consume transgenic crops. To achieve self-sufficiency under current sanctions and to remove concerns about possible contamination of Imported transgenic seeds, In the first phase, further research on different aspects of transgenic crops (health, environment, economy, etc.) and strengthening of the biotechnology research sector in the field of agriculture and medicine is recommended and after reaching the necessary ability in seed production and other transgenic inputs, as well as assessing the safety of these crops, producing non-food transgenic products such as transgenic cotton and transgenic crops as feedstuffs can be on the agenda.
