georgia: communicating the dangers of gmos in four languages: Friends of the Earth Georgia is campaigning against the import and cultivation of genetically-modified organisms (GMOs) in the Caucasus region. However, building a network of concerned organizations and groups across the region is being hampered through lack of available information.
who benefits from gm crops? the rise of pesticide use: Biotechnology proponents claim that genetically modified (GM) crops are good for consumers, farmers and the environment, and that they are growing in popularity around the world. However, such claims are seldom subjected to scrutiny. Beginning in 2006, Friends of the Earth International has released a publication each year on the impact of GM crops.
publications and materials: Throughout 2008 our groups and campaigns produced hard-hitting reports and publications about issues ranging from climate change to forests to GMOs.

member groups: Friends of the Earth International is made up of the activities and actions of our 76 member groups, and it is our mission to support and strengthen their work at the local level. These groups mobilize people, resist socially and environmentally damaging projects and policies, and help to transform their societies in tens of countries around the world. Their local work in turn allows us to campaign on the regional and international levels, and to seek political support for the rights of people everywhere to sustainable livelihoods and for social, economic, gender and environmental justice.
