60The paper explores consumers’ acceptance of New Breeding Techniques (NBTs) in the agri-food sector. Our main research question concerns the role of infor-mation in shaping consumers’ attitude towards genetically modified food and new breeding techniques in agricultural production. To this extent, we use a Multinomial Logit Model to analyse changes or confirmations of prior opinions on food safety con-cerns and environmental risks associated with modern biotechnologies once scientific information has been provided. Our findings confirm the Bayesian hypothesis accord-ing to which people combine their prior belief with new information to converge sci-entific information in the case of food safety. We also found a higher probability of confirmation bias, with people less willing to change their prior beliefs, when environ-mental risks are concerned
