Abstract

Biotechnology, one of the fastest developments in the century, is creating the diversity of opinions and one of the greatest debates emerged in the field of genetically modified (GM) food. Even though the innovation was developed to tackle the world hunger it still represents unknown concept that can cause potential risk on the environment and human health. GM food has found itself in a social context and affected many other spheres: economical, political, social, cultural and ethical. Some countries welcomed the innovation, some started to protect themselves from it. In the following article Slovenia will be presented as an example of how social, economic, geographical and public constrains prevented to grow genetically modified corn.
