PELUM Kenya has been busy trying to stop GMOs from being adopted in the country:

- It created and aired a television documentary in March to inform people of biosafety laws, good alternatives to GMOs and the campaigning work the group has been doing
- It is developing a manual on seed security and the problems with GMOs
- It secured an article in a national newspaper on the illegal importation of GMO maize into the country
