Progress 01/15/01 to 09/30/05
Outputs
In the year 2003, I published 1 peer reviewed journal article and made 4 presentations at international conferences. All research productivity is related to Objective 2 of this Hatch Project. Over the life of the project, I published 3 peer reviewed journal articles, 2 staff papers, made 8 presentations at international conferences and obtained one grant for 140,000 dollars. This project has recently led to two invited papers and one book chapter all forthcoming in 2004, and two articles currently submitted to a peer-reviewed journal. We have found that consumers state preferences that do not correspond to their revealed preferences with respect to GM foods. Our actual market transactions data indicate consumers purchase food according to price and largely ignore labels and the influence of the media. I recommend the GM food marketing research be extended to other regions such as France, Germany, the UK, China and Japan. Current grant proposals under review with the
NSF and the USDA-NRI outline a research methodology to do this.
Impacts
There are 4 million food consumers in Kentucky, 286 million food consumers in the United States, and 6.2 billion food consumers worldwide. Within an 80 mile radius of UK and Lexington, KY are headquartered some of the largest agribusinesses in the world and the dollar sales of these firms are 20 plus times larger than the entire Kentucky farm economy.

Progress 01/01/02 to 12/31/02
Outputs
In the year 2002, I applied for $482,907 worth of extramural funding. Also, I published 2 peer reviewed journal articles and 1 staff paper, and made 2 presentations at international conferences. One article and one presentation related to Objectives 1 and 2 of this Hatch Project, and the others related to Objective 3.
Impacts
There are 4 million food consumers in Kentucky, 286 million food consumers in the United States, and 6.2 billion food consumers worldwide. Within an 80 mile radius of UK and Lexington, KY are headquartered some of the world's largest agribusinesses and the dollar sales of these firms are 20 plus times larger than Kentucky's entire farm economy.

Progress 01/01/01 to 12/31/01
Outputs
In the year 2001, I applied for $514,920 worth of extramural funding under the umbrella of this Hatch Project. Two proposals were funded for a total of $141,100 and one proposal is still under review. Of the two funded projects, one has an additional $60,000 available in year 2 of the project pending research progress; thus the total will become $201,100. The funded projects are a direct application of Objectives 1 and 2 and of the model outlined in equations 1 to 6 in my Hatch Project to the issue of consumer food demand response to agrobiotechnology and genetically modified organisms. During 2001, I had 2 journal articles accepted and I presented one paper at an international conference. The first article and the paper presentation expanded the definition and application of equation 6 in the model in the my Hatch Project (again, Objectives 1 and 2), with application to a value-added food product. The second article was an extension of Objective 3.
Impacts
The are 4 million food consumers in Kentucky, 286 million food consumers in the United States, and 6.2 billion food consumers worldwide. Within an 80 mile radius of UK and Lexington, KY are headquartered some of the world's largest agribusinesses and the dollar sales of these firms are 20 plus times larger than Kentucky's agricultural economy.
