Public Advocacy
With the help of our supporters the GGFC will fund top experts from across the Globe to talk at public events and meetings regarding GMOs and pesticides.
We will try to avoid ‘preaching to the converted’ and will instead get involved with policy events that target a wide selection of the general public, politicians and commercial companies.
The biotech industry has successfully managed to make its voice heard at events in cities worldwide through speakers such as Mark Lynas and Kevin Folta. The GGFC will aim to create a top quality opposition to these speakers by allowing, until now poorly funded experts, to both inform and educate.
Government Advocacy
The way the GGFC will interact with different governments on GMOs will depend on the legal and regulatory framework in each country.
Our Advocacy power as a coalition will be much stronger in comparison with the current advocacy power of our component organisations - The GGFC will engage with governments on many fronts, from consulting on GMO regulation to reacting as a group to changes that take place in international trade agreements concerning GMOs.
The GGFC will aim to maintain dialogue with all relevant government agencies, ministries and regulatory departments at every stage.
The Advocacy part of the GGFC’s work is a long-term goal and we will regularly inform our partners of where we are building advocacy networks.
