Marcel Kuntz


Marcel Kuntz is a French plant biotechnologist who is a Research Director in the Laboratoire de Physiologie Cellulaire Végétale at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique in Grenoble, France. He is known for his criticisms of the ways that the French government and popular media have exaggerated the risks associated with genetically modified foods. He has documented how public perception of the risks of such foods has diverged significantly from the conclusions that scientists have reached on the topic. He was a recipient of the Médaille d'Or from the Académie d'Agriculture in 2017.
