National:
Regions: 6 departments and 15 regions have declared themselves GMO-free.
Municipalities: More than 1250 majors have issued declarations of GMO-free status of their municipality.
International cooperation: Two departments are part of the European Network of GMO-free regions

In 2001 the campaign "Pas d'OGM dans ma commune" (No GMO in my Municipality) was launched following an initiative of ATTAC 45, Mouvement Ecologiste Independant, Terre Sacre, as well as various local collectives, mobilising against the contamination of the environment with GMOs. These collectives succeeded in obtaining GM-free declarations of various levels (declarations of a GM-free status, declarations of intent and others) of more than three hundred mayors of France.

This campaign has since gone nationwide and it is now supported by twelve Organisations:
Les Amis de la Terre (Friends of the Earth France), Greenpeace, Agir pour l'Environnement, ATTAC, Coordination Nationale de Défense des Semences Fermires, Confederation paysanne, Federation Nationale des producteurs de l'Agriculture Biologique, OGM Dangers, Coordination rurale, CNAFAL Federation Nature et Progres and France Nature Environnement.

More than 1250 majors have since issued declarations of GMO-free status of their municipality. For detailed information which municipalities in which region have declared themselves GMO-free, please check check Inf'OGM
