This document summarizes a study that aims to test people's awareness of genetically modified (GM) foods versus organic foods commonly found in markets. It provides background information on GM foods, which have been modified through biotechnology, and organic foods, which are produced without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. The study seeks to understand whether people are conscious of whether the products they buy are GM or organic. It will survey 30 respondents from markets, schools, and randomly to assess knowledge of the differences between GM and organic labels. The scope is limited to testing awareness of these two classifications and does not consider other types like conventional or non-GM foods.

1. CLASSIFICATION ON DIFFERENCE
OF GENETICALLY MODIFIED AND
ORGANIC FOODS THAT ARE
COMMONLY FOUND IN THE
MARKET

2. Introduction
GMO’s are plants, animals or microorganisms
in which their genetic makeup has been
modified through the use of modern
biotechnology.
Organic food is produced without the use of
most conventional pesticides, fertilizers
made with synthetic ingredients or sewage
sludge, bioengineering, or ionizing radiation.

3. Most people are not conscious
whether the food products they usually
buy on the market are GMO or were
made organic.

4. Significance of the study
The purpose of the study is to
test the people’s awareness on
the classification of goods they
usually buy in the market and
their knowledge about GMOs.

5. Scope
Testing people’s knowledge on the
difference between organic and GMO’s.
Limitation
Their relationship on other types, such
as conventional and non-gmo, are
beyond the limits of this study.

LITERATURE
Chapter 2

7. Modern biotechnology, gene technology
or genetic engineering allows a specific
individual fees to be transferred from an
organism to another non-related species.
Foods that are produced from this
process or using GMO’s are referred to as
GM foods.(WHO 2014)

8. GM crops comes with lower price,
greater durability and more
nutrition value and are safe and
healthier than organic
foods.(Ruishalme, 2010)

9. According to the Nat’l Organic program,
foods are only labeled organic if grown
by certified organic producers and
processors who don’t use synthetic
fertilizers and pesticides, and GM
seeds.(Paarlberg, 2010)

10. METHODOLOGY
Chapter 3

11. Participants
Thirty respondents in each set-up from
market area, school and random will be
selected randomly. In this case the
researchers will use probability sampling

12. Research Design
The type of qualitative study that the
researchers will conduct, particularly the
descriptive research, will test the
people’s awareness on Genetically
Modified Organisms that are usually
found in the market.
