The campaign began in 2003, with a museographic exhibition in Mexico City (with a duration of nine months and over one million visitors), a book, records, brochures, radio and television capsules and other activities.

One of its expressions in Oaxaca is the Committee In Defense of Corn, whose campaigns include resistance to transgenic corn.
