Agricultural biotechnology has won Australian government support for its economic development potential but has associated ethical, consumer and environmental risks. The proposed research will contribute to the important task of successfully negotiating agricultural biotechnology futures through a comprehensive analysis of policy and regulatory structures, and stakeholder perceptions of impacts on environmental and economic sustainability. A comparison with the UK provides a valuable point of reference in evaluating policy and regulatory responses. Since the UK is a significant market for Australian produce, the outlook of UK consumers and the regulatory response of the government are highly relevant to Australian policy decisions.

农业生物技术因其经济发展潜力赢得了澳大利亚政府的支持，但也带来了伦理、消费者和环境风险。 拟议的研究将有助于通过全面分析政策和监管结构以及利益攸关方对环境和经济可持续性影响的看法，成功地谈判农业生物技术未来的重要任务。与联合王国的比较为评估政策和监管对策提供了宝贵的参考。由于英国是澳大利亚农产品的重要市场，英国消费者的前景和政府的监管反应与澳大利亚的政策决定高度相关。
