GMWatch provides the public with the latest news and comment on genetically modified (GMO) foods and crops and their associated pesticides.

GMWatch is an independent organisation that seeks to counter the enormous corporate political power and propaganda of the GMO industry and its supporters. It does this through its website, email lists, social media (Twitter/X, Mastodon and Bluesky), and other outreach and campaigning activities. GMWatch was founded in 1998 by Jonathan Matthews and its directors and managing editors are Jonathan Matthews and Claire Robinson.
