This thesis deals with the topic of genetically modified crops and possibilities of their use in the Czech Republic. The attitude of randomly selected group of Czech citizens toward this technology was evaluated by using the method of semi-standardized interviews and questionnaires. The aim of this work was to document actual situation related to GMO and other usage of modified crops in the Czech Republic. From the results it can be seen that the interest of agricultural subjects regarding mentioned technology is decreasing rapidly. The awareness of respondents was mostly of negative character due to confusion about its effects on human health and the environment. On the contrary the scientific community sees the main problem in environmental and biodiversity threats. Due to the lack of long-term scientific researches it is currently impossible to confirm or disprove advantages or disadvantages brought by this technology. Thus further conclusive scientific studies are needed.
