PART X, LINE 2 MANAGEMENT EVALUATED THE ORGANIZATION'S TAX POSITIONS AND CONCLUDED THAT THE ORGANIZATION HAD TAKEN NO UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS THAT REQUIRE ADJUSTMENT TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. THE ORGANIZATION'S TAX RETURNS GENERALLY REMAINING OPEN FOR EXAMINATION ARE THE LAST THREE YEARS FROM THE FILING DATES AND TAX RETURNS ARE CURRENT. PART XII, LINE 2D Expenses of $92 for IATP Action which files a seperate 990N PART XI, LINE 4B DIVIDENDS RECEIVED FROM RELATED ORGANIZATIONS $36,000 PART III, LINE 4A International / Trade and Global Governance Trade: In 2016, IATP continued its work on the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) and the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) and their potential impacts on agriculture and food systems in the U.S. and abroad. We produced analysis of the impacts of TTIP and TPP on food systems and conducted extensive outreach to the media, decision makers and activists working on those issues. We published several reports including 'The Climate Cost of Free Trade and Selling off the Farm: Corporate Meats Takeover through TTIP'. IATP organized a speaking tour to six European countries on the latter report. IATP also intensified work with the faith and development communities on trade, including through joint position papers and advocacy, conferences and webinars. As the year closed, IATP shifted its work with colleagues in Mexico and Canada from a focus on TPP to new engagement on NAFTA renegotiation. Global Governance: IATP also engaged with the UN Committee on World Food Security, working with partners from developing countries to promote agroecology and insist on better rules on land grabs. This year IATP brought its expertise and partnerships to discussions at the CFS on livestock and food security, focusing especially on the interests of pastoralists and on climate-friendly approaches to those issues. IATP also began a new participatory research initiative in Mexico with the Asociacin Nacional de Empresas Comercializadoras de Productores del Campo (ANEC) on the political economy of their approach to agroecology, balancing farmers knowledge with scientific advances. PART III, LINE 4B Climate Change and Corporate Strategies In 2016, IATPs Climate initiative had several components, all rooted in sustainable land uses and economies that benefit farmers, rural communities and the environment, including the Rural Climate Network, Rural Climate Dialogues, International Climate Policy, the Working Landscapes Certificate program, the Minnesota Green Chemistry Forum. Rural Climate Network: The Rural Climate Network is a grouping of organizations that come together to advance practical climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies. In 2016, the Rural Climate Network grew to 50 member organizations. Members of the network share social and technical approaches to climate change among agriculture, forestry, and other natural resource dependent communities. The network documents innovations, best practices, impacts, and other stories on the website www.ruralclimatenetwork.org. At the conclusion of a year-long process in 2015, members of the Rural Climate Network issued a set of Rural Climate Policy Priorities with high-level policy recommendations for different sectors of the rural economy. IATP also tracked and reported on how the Obama Administrations proposed Clean Power Plan would impact rural communities, and offered opportunities for RCN members to engage with the development of the Clean Power Plan, including submitting comments on the proposed Federal Implementation Plan and the Clean Energy Incentive Program. IATP initiated and continues to play a leadership role in the RCN, including sending out bi-monthly newsletters, updating the website, and acting as the point person for members. Rural Climate Dialogues: In 2016, IATP continued to build work at the community level through the Rural Climate Dialogues. Developed in partnership with the Jefferson Center, these Rural Climate Dialogues are intended to foster conversations in rural communities to help them think critically and plan strategically to address local challenges related to weather, climate and resilience. IATPs first dialogue was in Morris, MN in 2014, and won the 2015 Environmental Initiative award for community engagement. In May 2015, IATP and the Jefferson Center completed the second Rural Climate Dialogue in Grand Rapids, Minnesota, and a third Rural Climate Dialogue, the Winona County Climate Dialogue, in March 2016. In all three communities, preliminary conversations and relationships (including direct engagement with high school students and teachers), set the foundation for the Rural Climate Dialogue event - a three-day Citizens Jury where citizens create a robust climate adaptation plan including individual and community actions on energy, water, agriculture and tourism, among other topics. Following the three Rural Climate Dialogues IATP held a 2-day Rural Climate Dialogue State Convening to bring together rural citizens with state agency leaders and policymakers to elevate the voices of rural Minnesotans to advance state policy and on-the-ground actions that are needed to effectively address climate change. Global Climate Policy: IATP tracked the intersection of agriculture and community-level responses to climate change with the United Nations global climate negotiations. IATP reported on a number of agriculture and trade-related initiatives within the global climate agreement. IATP published a major report on how the proposed TransPacific Partnership will impact national-level climate policy. IATP also reported on how the primary U.S. policy for achieving international climate goals, the Clean Power Plan, could positively impact rural communities and how carbon markets, being pushed in the U.S. and internationally, will not achieve climate goals and increase inequity. Finally, IATP reported on how past trade agreements, like the North American Free Trade Agreement and rules at the World Trade Organization, undermine climate policy. IATP also reported on the candidate policy positions on climate change during the 2016 election. PART III, LINE 4C Agriculture and Food Work in 2016 centered on policy research, analysis, outreach and organizing around 1) Trans Pacific Partnership and the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership and 2) the adoption and implementation of a Good Food Purchasing Policy (GFPP) in the Twin Cities. IATP published analysis on how the TPP will impact the U.S. dairy market and how TTIP will undermine local food systems. In addition to publishing reports, outreach included action alerts, sign-on letters, webinars, presentations at multiple public events, and development of allied food and farm organizations. Agroecology: IATP continued to advocate internationally for agroecology, a farmer-led system of production that works with nature to produce healthy food. IATP contributed to and reported out on a series of UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) regional meetings (Brazil, Senegal, Bangkok) on agroecology, in addition to writing several articles and presenting at numerous conferences on indicators to advance agroecology in policy. IATP also reported on international efforts by seed companies to control the global seed supply through trade agreements and other international institutions. IATP tracked the intersection of agriculture and community-level responses to climate change with the United Nations global climate negotiations. In 2016, IATP widely distributed its in- depth analysis of how trade agreement provisions lock in policies and practices that contribute to climate change and undermine mitigation and adaptation measures. Working Landscapes Certificate Program: In 2016, IATP continued its cooperation with Stonyfield and other responsible bioplastic users to ensure that their bioplastic use supported farmers in producing corn (the bioplastic feedstock) in more sustainable ways through its WLC program. It was another successful production year, with 8 participating WLC farmers meeting or exceeding production expectations, all while growing corn in more responsible manner. Industrial Meat: In 2016, IATP researched, analyzed and published a major publication titled: 'Selling Off the Farm: Corporate Meats Takeover Through TTIP'. The in-depth report examines regulations in the U.S. and the EU that limit the power of the meat industry. It further analyzed the implications of the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) for strengthening environmental, food safety and public health rules that are necessary to reign in the negative impacts of the industry. IATP aunched the report at a public event at the European Parliament, followed by a speakers tour in the fall through Belgium, Germany, Poland, France, Slovenia and Hungary. IATP also published a short factsheet on the Comprehensive Economic Trade Agreement (CETA) between the European Union and Canada called CETA: Selling Off the Farm for the speakers tour. IATP continued to engage in a leadership role at the Civil Society Mechanism (CSM) of the Food and Agriculture Organizations Committee on World Food Security (CFS) by being one of the coordinators of the working group on livestock. The group engaged in the CFS negotiations on the recommendations that governments adopted on the 2016 High Level Panel of Experts report on sustainable agriculture, including the role of livestock. IATP also continued to make public interventions including as speaker in different non-governmental and inter-governmental events. Finally, IATPs work with the Animal Agriculture Reform Collaborative in the U.S. continues with IATP staff co-chairing the environmental justice working group and the economic justice working group, building capacity of grassroots groups across the U.S. on national and international policies that impact their work to stop concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs). Farm to Institution: Building on IATPs successful partnership with Community Action Partnership of Ramsey and Washington Counties (CAPRW) Head Start and the Hmong American Farmers Association (HAFA) in 2014 and 2015, in 2016 IATP expanded its effort to partner with three new Head Start programs across the state to implement its 'Farm to Head Start' program model, serving fresh local foods and teaching children about their local food system. IATPs 2016 Head Start partners were the St. Cloud Reach Up Head Start Program, the Rochester/Albert Lea Head Start Program and the Parents in Community Action (PICA) Head Start Program in Minneapolis. Working with new Head Start partners allowed IATP to learn how its model can adapt to different Head Start contexts, allowing IATP to adjust its model to meet the diverse needs of Head Start programs outside of the original St. Paul partner. IATP has continued in its role as Farm to School community partner for St. Paul Public Schools, participating in the School Food FOCUS Upper Midwest Regional Learning Lab to build regional connections to expand Farm to School in their district. For a second time we coordinated the regional 'Midwest Menu'Great Apple Crunch' events during Farm to School Month, where districts across the Midwest served a menu of local, clean label chicken, local apples, and a local vegetable and grain of their choice on the same day to celebrate regional pride and promote Farm to School in Midwestern states. IATP participated in several state, regional and national leadership coalitions related to Farm to Institution, including the National Farm to Preschool Subcommittee, the School Food FOCUS Upper Midwest Regional Learning Lab, MN Farm to School Leadership Team, MN Childhood Nutrition and Wellness Advisory Group, MN Healthy Kids Coalition and MN Healthy Legacy Steering Committee. IATP also continued to coordinate the MN Farm to Early Care Coalition to advance this work in its state, and to co-lead a group of 30 stakeholder groups working specifically on advocating for state level policy to support Farm to School/Childcare. To expand understanding of Farm to Institution, IATP presented at and attended several national and regional conferences, including among others the National Head Start Parent Conference and National Head Start Policy Conference, the National Child and Adult Care Food Program Conference, the National Farm to Cafeteria Conference and the Minnesota Association for the Education of Young Children Conference. PART III, LINE 4C CONTINUED Nanotechnology and Synthetic Biology: In 2016, IATP continued to research, write about the risks inherent with application of nanotechnology and synthetic biology technologies in agriculture and advocate for effective exposure science and regulatory measures related to these technologies. Reports, presentations, and publications include: - 'Brazil and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development: an opening for nanotechnology policy' ('El Brazil y el OECD: una apertura para la poltica nanotecnolgica,') Skype presentation and interview on Nanotecnologia do avesso Nanotechnology Inside Out) No. 342, January 20. - Talk on 'Co-existence of genetically engineered varieties and organic agriculture,' University of Minnesota graduate student agronomy club.

Our programming strategy integrates communication into their objectives and we maintain multiple communication streams to disseminate our work. This includes a website that is a valuable research tool; a social media presence on Facebook and Twitter, with a combined 17,000 followers, that continues to attract new followers and daily interactions; multiple email lists of up to 13,000 subscribers, including press lists, who receive newsletters, action alerts, and press releases. We also work in partnership with Public News Service to distribute radio stories that routinely reach over 200,000 listeners. IATP communication staff works closely with program staff to identify the best platforms for distributing their work and to promote that work as strongly as possible.
