</font></p>
<p><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Sorry for the delay. I
work part time so everything is always tight! So I didn't get as
far as I'd hoped this week. I only really had today to work on
this because some admin tasks took up more of my time.</font><br>
</p>
<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Please find a draft
attached. The 'yellow' bits are things to complete. I am going
away for a week now to Ireland and then actually teaching a
company investigation course followed by teaching a permaculture
course!!<br>
<br>
So my time over the next three weeks is sadly very limited :( I
think the remaining sections are the parts that there is already
the most existing information on, so perhaps others can start to
complete these sections? I can also come back to them at the end
of July if not too late. <br>
<br>
The cool news is that Corporate Watch are happy to pay a graphic
designer we work with to knock it into a report/zine as I won't
have time. <br>
<br>
I will still have internet access so will try to stay on top of my
emails at least! Anything really urgent maybe email my personal email

<pre wrap="">Hey hey!
I love the idea of translating the lexicon, and also of sending it
through the free the soil list. Could be nice for us to send it through
the FFA list as well. If no one is opposed I think it could be nice to
publish on the ASEED webpage with a link to Free the Soil and the email
for joining the bus from the Netherlands. Is that okay?
Cheers! Liz

I just uploaded loads of articles in all the different sections of the

information there!

<pre wrap="">In the FtS research folder there is as well an updated version of the
Lexicon. Please have a look and add terms and discriptions if you want.
The plan is to have this info available in the languages that are most
relevant for the campaign. At the moment this seem to be English,
German, Dutch and Danish. So if people feel like translating bits this
would be very helpful. If we do some outreach in those different
countries it is important that we use the right terms.

Personally I think that it would be good to send an email about this
lexicon and the yara company file to the general FtS list. Those
documents are also meant to educate ourselves. And we don't have to wait
until the files are completly ready, probably they will always stay work
in progress.
Any objections against sending an update to the general email list?
greetings, Flip

Ok nice.
Yes there is some information on the ASEED website, some on the FTS
cloud in the Alternatives folder. But then also I have some stuff on
my computer here, maybe I can upload that onto the cloud, or I can try
to write something and send it over in line with your subheadings.
Although sounds like you also have some interesting sources to tap
into.
Definitely up for giving feedback and contributions once your skeleton
is up and running.
Thanks Nicole!

<pre wrap="">Hey!
Yes I am using the research already undertaken in the company
profiling document :) I am happy to do a lot of the work but it would
be great to have feedback and contributions once the 'skeleton' is
ready.
That would be great to have your existing info on alternatives! Is
that on the ASEED website? I also have a lot of existing agroecology
resources I can use for this too.
Thanks for the feedback about the structure, I will integrate that
now!
That's great about the lobbying stuff already being covered.
Big thanks,
Nicole

<pre wrap="">Hey Nicole,
Thanks for all this, it is looking great with lots of really
important points to cover. Do you want to divide the work /
subsections up slightly between the people on this list? It looks
like a lot of things to be covered by you, although maybe there are
more people planning to work on it at Corporate Watch? Also some of
the information you can just take from the company file you can find
on the cloud as some of the points are covered in that document. And
also with the alternatives, we have information within ASEED that we
could share with you so that you don't have to do the same work
twice!
My main point about the order of the subsections is that I would
move the "Controversy" section to the bottom or before the
alternatives. Of course it is important to know what kind of
controversies Yara has been involved in and also shows how
despicable these multinational corporations can be, but I think we
need to have the main focus on Yara and it's affect on climate
change, threat to food security, greenwashing etc which you cover
after the point about "Controversy". It feels like the point of the
Free the Soil campaign is to highlight Yara in relation to its
impact on climate change throught the production of synthetic
nitrogen fertilizer and and the fact that no one knows this, so this
should continue to be our focus. However, I do like your idea to
make a map of all these controversies to show visually where Yara is
and where people could potentially do local decentralised actions.
The other thing is now we have had contact with Belen and Pascoe
from Corporate Europe Observatory and they will most probably write
something on EU lobbying so it would be good not to overlap.
Ok, let me know what you think to those comments. And thank you a
lot for the work you have done so far!
Cheers,
Annie

Hey!
Apologies, my research with this Gold Mining campaign has taken
longer
than expected.
I have started to do some Yara research. So far, mapping the
controversies and making a directory that can accompany the article
with all the locations on one page in case of decentralised actions.
I
also did some shareholder research. I need to copy what I am doing
on
crabgrass into the cloud, I keep forgetting!
I have attached an overview of the article I am planning to write.
It
will obviously be significantly larger than one blog post, so we are
hoping to format it into a pdf/report that can be downloaded also.
Can people take a look and give me feedback of what is missing? Is
it
what you were hoping for?
Massive thanks,
Nicole

Hey Research team!
How is everyone?
Is anyone going to make it to the meeting this weekend? I cannot as
I have to work on the farm and no one can cover for me this
weekend!!
I just sent an email to the fts list with a link to the company file
about Yara that I uploaded onto the FTS cloud. This is a piece of
work from Flip, Katie, Jula and I who are based in the Netherlands.
It needs more work but at least I wanted to show that something has
been happening on the research side of things.
Hope it goes well this weekend and hope to see you all soon if not
in September!
Cheers,
Annie
