Abstract
Ģenētiski modificētu kultūru ieviešana Latvijā ir aktuāls temats, jo, neskatoties uz patērētāju vēlmi uzturā lietot dabīgi audzētus un veselīgus produktus, Latvijā joprojām dažos novados iespējams audzēt ĢMO.
Darbā veikts ieskats par to, kas ir ģenētiski modificēti organismi (ĢMO) un ģenētiski modificēta kultūra (ĢMK), kādi ir ģenētiski modificēto organismu plusi un mīnusi, kā arī mērķis, ar kādu ir ieviesta ģenētiski modificēta kultūra, kā pazīt ģenētiski modificētos produktus un kāda ir šo produktu ietekme uz cilvēku. Noskaidrots kādi normatīvie akti paredz ĢMO ierobežošanu Latvijā un Eiropas Savienībā. Pētīta pašvaldību attieksme un tās izmaiņas pret ĢMO ieviešanu no 08.04.2010 līdz 29.04.2011. Pētījumā tika noskaidrots kāda ir Bauskas novada zemnieku attieksme pret ģenētiski modificēto kultūru ieviešanu Latvijā, savās saimniecībās.
Darbā izmantota kvalitatīva aptauja ar Bauskas novada lauksaimniekiem, kā arī intervija ar organizācijas Zemes Draugi pārstāvi Anci Gobiņu.
