File Who benefits from GM crops? 2009 executive summary
Friends of the Earth International, February 2009: The biotechnology industry has aggressively touted GM as a solution to hunger and the global food crisis. Their arguments have been accepted by many politicians. This short briefing is a summary of a new Friends of the Earth International (FoEI) report that looks behind the spin and exposes the reasons why GM crops cannot, and are unlikely ever, to contribute to poverty reduction, global food security or sustainable farming.

File Who benefits from GM crops? 2010
Friends of the Earth International, September 2010: Every year, the International Service for the Acquisition of Agri-Biotech Applications, which is partly funded by the biotech industry, publishes figures on the cultivation of GM crops around the world. This annual review is never short on hyperbole. In response we publish a fully referenced report analysing the area of GM crops in the world, and providing evidence on their impacts in the countries that have planted them.

File Who Benefits from GM crops? - 2007 executive summary
Friends of the Earth International, January 2007: Summary from the report 'Who benefits from GM crops? An Analysis of the global performance of genetically modified (GM) crops 1996-2006'. In 2006 the spread of Genetically Modified (GM) crops worldwide showed signs of stalling. Production of GM crops on a large scale continued to be limited to a few crops and countries and have not addressed the main agricultural problems and challenges facing farmers in most countries. They have not proven to be superior to conventional crops, and the ‘second generation’ GM farm crops with attractive “food traits” promised by the industry has not appeared.

File contamination genetique afrique
Les Amis de la Terre International, 2002: Ce fascicule aborde quelques-unes des grandes questions posées par les organismes génétiquement modifiés (OGM) dans le monde. Il décrit plusieurs cas de contamination de champs et de la chaîne alimentaire de l'homme par une variété d'OGM interdits dont l'utilisation n'est pas réglementée par les structures juridiques de différents pays à travers le monde. Il résume enfin quelques méthodes d'expérimentation visant à détecter la présence d'OGM.

File Stop playing with hunger! - factsheet
Friends of the Earth International, June 2003: The US Government is promoting GM crops as the primary solution to improving food security and solving hunger in developing countries. The US Administration and biotech corporations will be strongly promoting GM crops at the Ministerial. Friends of the Earth opposes the Bush administration position on this issue, and is calling on all Governments attending the Ministerial to challenge US and corporate pressure to accept and promote GM food. This paper exposes the problems around the shipment of US GM food aid to developing countries and the hypocrisy behind the US Government argument that GM crops are needed to solve hunger in Africa.

File StarLink Genetically Engineered Corn in the Food Supply - chronology
Friends of the Earth International, February 2005: Sequence of events regarding the introduction of StarLink's genetically engineered corn into mainstream food supply after it was approved only for animal consumption in April 1998. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) refused to approve StarLink for human consumption due to scientific concerns that it could trigger food allergies (Washington Post)

File Playing with Hunger: The reality behind the shipment of GMOs as food aid
Friends of the Earth International, July 2003: A controversy over genetically modified (GM) food aid arose in 2000 and grew increasingly in 2002, when several Southern African countries refused GM food aid during a food crisis. African countries were presented with a false choice of either accepting Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) or watch- ing people starve. This situation, where GM food aid was presented often as the only solution to hunger was advanced primarily by the US which is also aggressively marketing Genetically Modified (GM) crops in developing countries.

File How the US Government is Planning to Approve Contamination of the World’s Food Supply with Experimental GM Crops - briefing paper
Friends of the Earth, May 2005: This paper explores the ways in which over the past two decades, the United States government has done everything possible to promote its biotechnology industry and push genetically modified (GM) foods on the rest of the world. As part of these efforts, in 2002 the Bush Administration issued a directive that would make contamination of the food supply with unapproved, experimental GM crops “acceptable.”
