dc.description	This study deals with the level of knowledge and attitude of students regarding genetically modified organism (GMO) and the evaluation of sustainable consumption education. For these purposes, the questionnaire (The level of knowledge and attitudes towards GMO’s) produced by the researchers has been applied to 300 fourth-year students of Ondokuz Mayıs University who have been selected randomly. The data has been analyzed by a computer statistics program, SPSS. The analysis of data has shown that the knowledge of the majority of the students regarding the GMO is in accordance with the reality. However, they have negative attitudes towards the dimensions of reliability, environmental effects, socio-economical effects and its inspection and towards the production and usage of GMO. In addition, the results have revealed that there is no significant impact of personal variable on the attitude toward GMO’s. At the end of the study, the level of knowledge and attitude of students have been evaluated according to the basic principles of sustainable consumption.
