Dear Madam / Sir,

Sustainalytics and Mirova, in collaboration with Cambridge University, are conducting a study on food security. The results of the following questionnaire will be featured in our study.

The questionnaire takes about 10 minutes to complete and requires knowledge of innovative seed technologies.

Your participation in this study is completely voluntary. Your survey responses will be strictly confidential and data from this research will be reported only in the aggregate. Your information will be coded and will remain confidential.

If you have questions at any time about the survey or the procedures, you may contact Iulia Anescu at [email protected].

Thank you very much for your time and support. Please start with the survey now by clicking on the "Continue" button below.

Henderson and Clark (1990) define 4 types of innovation:

  1. Incremental - builds upon existing component and architectural knowledge

  2. Modular - requires new knowledge for one or more components, but architectural knowledge remains unchanged

  3. Architectural - impacts the linkage of various components, but the knowledge of single components remains unchanged

  4. Radical - revolutionizes both component and architectural knowledge

Please rank the following seed technologies in terms of architectural and modular innovation:
 
 
1. Transgenic modification (the introduction of an exogenous gene into a living organism, so that the organism will exhibit a new property and transmit that property to its offspring)
None Minor Moderate Significant Extraordinary
Architectural change
Modular innovation
 
 
2. Cisgenic modification (gene transfer between organisms that can be bred in a conventional manner, during which the inserted genes remain unchanged)
None Minor Moderate Significant Extraordinary
Architectural change
Modular innovation
 
 
3. Intragenic modification (gene transfer between identical organisms, in which a hybrid gene that constitutes a recombination of DNA fragments, is inserted in the plant's genome)
None Minor Moderate Significant Extraordinary
Architectural change
Modular innovation
 
 
4. RNA interference (biological process in which RNA molecules inhibit gene expression, typically by causing the destruction of specific mRNA molecules)
None Minor Moderate Significant Extraordinary
Architectural change
Modular innovation
 
 
5. RNA activation (gene regulation process, in which promoter-targeted short double-stranded RNAs induce target gene expression at the transcriptional level)
None Minor Moderate Significant Extraordinary
Architectural change
Modular innovation
