Info- event tonight on Green deserts of soy in Paraguay
aseed europe - 25.05.2007 12:31
Ojalá, with the collaboration of A SEED Europe, Friends Of the Earth
International (FoEI) and Corporate Europe Observatory (CEO), invites you
to participate in the new info-night of its 2007 program on solidarity
with Latin America.
Friday 25 May, 8 to 10 pm
LAC, Nieuwe Herengracht 29, Amsterdam
The expansion of soy monoculture farming in the Cono Sur region, mostly
exported to feed the supply chains in Northern Countries, is seriously
impacting peasant and indigenous communities livelihoods. Land
conflicts, militarization, environmental destruction, lack of water for
communities, etc. are just some of the impacts of this unsustainable
global production model.
These issues will be presented by Elías Díaz Peña, Water Coordinator of
the Paraguayan environmentalist organization Sobrevivencia, with the
support of video and pictures screening. Dutch research and activist
organization A SEED Europe will present solidarity initiatives and
alternatives included in its campaign on soy monoculture.
