With respect to GM crops, Gene Campaign is demanding transparency and public participation. It seeks accountability and greater competence in the regulatory systems that are in place. Gene Campaign has made the demand that unless the regulatory systems are demonstrably more competent, transparent and responsive to public concerns, there should be a moratorium on commercial release of GM crops.

The Campaign has set up about 30 Core Groups in 17 states after conducting over 400 district and village level meetings. These large-scale awareness generation programs were supported by simple literature in regional languages explaining the process of globalisation and the national and international developments that could threaten food and livelihood security. The Campaign has worked together with a cross section of people including farming and adivasi communities, academic institutions, government departments, political and activist groups, NGOs and students. It is linked to a large network of national and international organisations, which enables it to have a national and international outreach.
