> Inf’OGM’s main activity is to analyse and disseminate information on a regular basis via various information channels:
THE QUARTERLY NEWSPAPER
Every three months, Inf’OGM publishes a 20-page newsletter on GMOs, including news, special reports, technical data sheets and interviews. It is accessible to the general public and available by subscription or individually.
BOOKS AND BROCHURES
Inf’OGM regularly publishes books and brochures that provide a comprehensive or summary analysis of the various issues surrounding GMOs. Find them in the shop!
Inf’OGM regularly updates its website infogm.org. This site presents all the latest news on GMOs, as well as numerous thematic dossiers, technical fact sheets, interviews and debates. To guide web users, each topic (health, labelling, etc.) and each article is accompanied by questions (FAQ) that provide a simple and concise context.
infogm.org has a free newsletter to which anyone can subscribe, so that you can be kept regularly informed of the latest events relating to GMOs.
THEMATIC MONITORING
Inf’OGM runs thematic monitoring services: a legal monitoring service and a Europe monitoring service. These monitoring groups provide a forum for the exchange of specialist information and aim to encourage the emergence of a public debate on GMOs.
Legal watch: the legal watch on GMOs was set up in October 2002, in response to the need felt by many associations and lawyers to pool resources (particularly human and documentary resources) around the issue of “GMOs and the law”. By gathering and exchanging information, the legal watch supports the associations that take part in it, in particular in order to :
Develop stronger arguments on issues relating to GMO legislation.
Ensure better coordination in monitoring current regulations at national, European and international level.
Europe Watch: the aim of the Europe Watch project is to set up a European network of information sites on GMOs, and more specifically on Genetically Modified Plants (GMPs). The aim of this network is to help inform and build a European civil society to help democratise the implementation of research and innovation policies.
> Inf’OGM regularly answers questions from civil society players (NGOs, citizens, journalists, elected representatives, etc.) and provides information and training on the various aspects of GMOs.
> Inf’OGM also urges public authorities and decision-making bodies to be genuinely transparent, and to set up an effective and reliable public information service on GMOs.
