IATP 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. IATP REACHED OUT TO LOCAL FOOD AND FARM TO SCHOOL PROGRAMS TO EDUCATE THEM ON THE POTENTIAL RISKS OF TRADE PROCUREMENTS ON PUBLIC PROCUREMENT, NEW LIMITS ON GMO LABELING, AS WELL AS NEW ROADBLOCKS TO LOCAL LEGISLATION ON TOXIC CHEMICALS. IATP SPOKE AT THE NATIONAL FARM TO CAFETERIA CONFERENCE AND THE NEW ENGLAND SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE WORKING GROUP CONFERENCE AMONG OTHERS AND HELPING THOSE GROUPS TO WEIGH IN WITH TRADE NEGOTIATORS. IATP WROTE A REPORT ON TTIP AND THE IMPACTS ON AGRICULTURE IN MAINE FOR THE MAINE CITIZENS TRADE POLICY COMMISSION AND PRESENTED THE REPORT AT PUBLIC HEARINGS IN MAINE. IATP REACHED OUT TO COLLEAGUES IN THE EU, SPEAKING AT STRATEGY SESSIONS AND MAJOR PUBLIC EVENTS IN BERLIN AND BRUSSELS, AND LEADING A SPEAKING TOUR ON TTIP IN GERMANY. IATP ALSO ORGANIZED A WELL-ATTENDED SERIES OF WEBINARS INVOLVING EXPERTS FROM THE EU AND US ON TTIP AND GMOS, FOOD SAFETY, TOXIC CHEMICALS, AND OVERUSE OF ANTIBIOTICS. 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. IATP'S SHINEY VARGHESE WAS SELECTED TO THE HIGH LEVEL PANEL OF EXPERTS TO PRODUCE A PAPER ON WATER AND FOOD SECURITY THAT WILL PROVIDE GUIDANCE ON THE INTERSECTIONS BETWEEN THOSE ISSUES AND HOW GLOBAL AND NATIONAL INSTITUTIONS CAN BETTER RESOLVE THOSE TENSIONS. IATP ALSO WORKED WITH THE FOOD AND AGRICULTURE ORGANIZATION OF THE UN TO CLARIFY THE SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE SUPPORTING AGROECOLOGY AS A SET OF SUSTAINABLE PRACTICES THAT CAN FIGHT CLIMATE CHANGE AND SUPPORT FOOD SECURITY, AND OPPOSE FALSE SOLUTIONS SUCH AS "SUSTAINABLE INTENSIFICATION" AND CLIMATE-SMART AGRICULTURE. FINANCIAL AND COMMODITY MARKET REFORM IN 2014, IATP CLOSELY MONITORED, ANALYZED AND SUBMITTED COMMENTS ON POLICY AND RULEMAKING DEVELOPMENTS. TO THIS END, IATP PARTICIPATED IN WEEKLY CONFERENCE CALLS WITH THE AMERICANS FOR FINANCIAL REFORM DERIVATIVES AND SYSTEMIC RISK TASK FORCE AND QUARTERLY CALLS WITH THE COMMODITY MARKETS OVERSIGHT COALITION, THE FINANCIAL STABILITY BOARD WATCH AND THE POLICY FINANCE, FOOD AND NANOTECHNOLOGY COMMITTEES OF THE TRANSATLANTIC CONSUMERS DIALOGUE. IN ADDITION TO RULEMAKING COMMENTS SUBMITTED, WRITING INCLUDED: * "GETTING THE DATA TO REGULATE GLOBAL BANKS" * "WHY SHOULD A BANK BE ALLOWED TO OWN AND TRADE OIL, METALS AND LAND?" * "REFORMING FOR INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL STABILITY VS. THE TISA COUNTER-REFORMATION" * "TRADE ABOVE ALL: THE DRAFT FOOD SAFETY CHAPTER OF TTIP" * "UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER: THE U.S.-BRAZIL DEAL TO END WTO AUTHORIZED RETALIATION" * "WALL STREET MANIPULATES MAIN STREET, AGAIN" CLIMATE AND AGRICULTURE IN 2014, IATP'S CLIMATE AND AGRICULTURE 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, THE WORKING LANDSCAPES CERTIFICATE PROGRAM AND THE MINNESOTA GREEN CHEMISTRY FORUM. RURAL CLIMATE NETWORK THE RURAL CLIMATE NETWORK IS A GROUPING OF ORGANIZATIONS THAT COME TOGETHER TO ADVANCE PRACTICAL MITIGATION AND ADAPTATION STRATEGIES GIVEN THE CURRENT AND ANTICIPATED EFFECTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE ACROSS THE NATION. IN 2014 THE RURAL CLIMATE NETWORK GREW TO 41 MEMBER ORGANIZATIONS, WORKING TOGETHER TO DEVELOP CLIMATE MITIGATION AND ADAPTATION STRATEGIES. 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 END OF THE YEAR, 30 RURAL CLIMATE NETWORK MEMBERS GATHERED IN WASHINGTON D.C. FOR A POLICY PLANNING MEETING TO LEARN AND THINK ABOUT WHAT RURAL AMERICA WANTS INCLUDED IN UPCOMING CLIMATE POLICY. THIS WORK WILL CONTINUE INTO 2015 AS IATP DEVELOPS A COMPREHENSIVE RURAL CLIMATE POLICY PLATFORM THAT IS BASED ON THE VALUES OF LOCAL OWNERSHIP AND CONTROL, EQUITY AND DIVERSITY. IATP INITIATED AND CONTINUES TO PLAY A LEADERSHIP ROLE IN THE RCN. RURAL CLIMATE DIALOGUES IATP IS ALSO WORKING AT THE DIRECT COMMUNITY LEVEL ON THE RURAL CLIMATE DIALOGUES. DEVELOPED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE JEFFERSON CENTER, THESE RURAL CLIMATE DIALOGUES ARE INTENDED TO FOSTER CONVERSATION IN RURAL COMMUNITIES ABOUT WHAT CLIMATE IMPACTS ARE MANIFESTING LOCALLY ON THE GROUND AND HOW LOCAL CITIZENS THINK THEIR COMMUNITY SHOULD HANDLE THOSE IMPACTS. IN 2014, IATP AND THE JEFFERSON CENTER COMPLETED THE FIRST RURAL CLIMATE DIALOGUE IN MORRIS, MINNESOTA. THE DIALOGUE FIRST HAPPENED AT THE SCHOOL LEVEL, WHERE HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS RECEIVED SEVERAL LESSONS ON THE LOCAL IMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE, AND GATHERED NEARLY 200 ENERGY SURVEYS FROM HOUSEHOLDS IN THEIR COMMUNITY. THIS INFORMATION WAS INCLUDED AT THE COMMUNITY-WIDE RURAL CLIMATE DIALOGUE, WHERE A GROUP OF MORRIS CITIZENS GATHERED FOR THREE DAYS TO DISCUSS COMMUNITY RESPONSES TO CHANGING WEATHER AND CLIMATE. PLANNING FOR THE NEXT RURAL CLIMATE DIALOGUE IN GRAND RAPIDS BEGAN IN 2014 WITH SEVERAL VISITS TO THE COMMUNITY TO IDENTIFY THE MOST RELEVANT LOCAL CLIMATE IMPACTS. INFORMATION ABOUT THE DIALOGUES IS HOUSED ON THE RURAL CLIMATE NETWORK WEBSITE AT HTTP://WWW.RURALCLIMATENETWORK.ORG/CONTENT/RURAL-CLIMATE-DIALOGUES. WORKING LANDSCAPES CERTIFICATE PROGRAM IN 2014, IATP CONTINUED ITS COOPERATION WITH STONYFIELD, DANONE GERMANY 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 ITS 8 WLC FARMERS MEETING OR EXCEEDING PRODUCTION EXPECTATIONS, ALL WHILE GROWING CORN IN A MORE RESPONSIBLE MANNER. MINNESOTA GREEN CHEMISTRY FORUM IATP ALSO CONTINUED TO PROMOTE AND EXPAND THE MINNESOTA GREEN CHEMISTRY SECTOR IN 2014 THROUGH ITS CO-LEADERSHIP OF THE MINNESOTA GREEN CHEMISTRY FORUM. IATP'S CONFERENCE IN JANUARY 2014 BROUGHT TOGETHER MINNESOTA BUSINESSES, NGOS, POLICYMAKERS AND RESEARCHERS TO DISCUSS AND SHARE THE LATEST DEVELOPMENTS AROUND GREEN CHEMISTRY TECHNOLOGY, SUPPORTIVE POLICIES AND RESEARCH. WHILE THE CONFERENCE IS THE MAIN OUTREACH OF THE MGCF, IATP ALSO HELD A NUMBER OF SMALLER, MORE FOCUSED EVENTS IN 2014 INTENDED TO EXPAND IATP'S NETWORK AND PROVIDE UNIQUE LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES FOR MGCF MEMBERS. EXTREME ENERGY IATP CONTINUED TO PUBLISH TAR SAND NEWS, A COMPENDIUM OF NEWS AND REPORTS RELATED TO TAR SAND OIL PRODUCTION AND OTHER EXTREME PETROCHEMICALS. IN FEBRUARY OF 2014, TWO IATP STAFF VISITED FORT MCMURRAY IN ALBERTA CANADA TO SEE FIRSTHAND THE EFFECT OF TAR SAND OIL MINING. THEY MET WITH INDIGENOUS GROUPS, GOVERNMENT AGENCIES AND REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT ORGANIZATIONS. THEY FLEW OVER THE MINE SITES AND WASTE PONDS AND TOOK VIDEOS THAT DOCUMENT THE DETRIMENTAL IMPACT OF TAR SAND PRODUCTION ON THE ENVIRONMENT AND REGIONAL WATER RESOURCES. FOLLOWING THE VISIT, IATP STAFF PATRICK TSAI WROTE A REPORT EXAMINING HOW TRADE POLICY FROM THE NORTH AMERICAN FREE TRADE AGREEMENT IS DRIVING TAR SAND PRODUCTION. AGRICULTURE AND FOOD IN 2014, IATP'S WORK ON FOOD AND AGRICULTURE INCLUDED WORK ON AGRICULTURE POLICY, AGROECOLOGY, FARM TO INSTITUTION, THE MEAT INDUSTRY. IATP'S WORK INCLUDED HEALTH ISSUES SUCH AS FUNGICIDES, NANOTECH AND SYNTHETIC BIOLOGY, AND ANTIBIOTIC USE IN LIVESTOCK PRODUCTION. INDUSTRIAL MEAT IN 2014, IATP PRODUCED A SERIES OF ANALYSES, COALITION LETTERS AND PUBLIC EVENTS ON THE POTENTIAL IMPACTS OF NEW TRADE RULES IN TTIP AND TPP ON THE GLOBAL MEAT INDUSTRY. THIS WORK FEEDS DIRECTLY INTO TRANSATLANTIC CAMPAIGN OUTREACH AND ACTION MATERIALS ON TTIP. IATP IS AN ACTIVE PARTICIPANT IN THE ANIMAL AGRICULTURE REFORM COLLABORATIVE, FOCUSING ESPECIALLY ON THE CONNECTION BETWEEN TRADE AND INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION OF MEAT. IATP IS ALSO EXTENDING THE REACH OF THIS WORK INTERNATIONALLY, STARTING WITH A MAPPING EXERCISE WITH CIVIL SOCIETY ORGANIZATIONS IN BRAZIL, INDIA, CHINA AND THE U.S. TO LEARN HOW DIFFERENT GROUPS ARE EXPERIENCING THE EXPANSION OF THE MEAT INDUSTRY IN THEIR REGION AND WHAT CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES THEY SEE IN RESPONDING TO IT. THIS WORK LED TO A SERIES OF IN-DEPTH REPORTS AND WEBINARS ON CHINA'S MEAT PRODUCTION, WHICH ATTRACTED SIGNIFICANT MEDIA ATTENTION. ON THE GLOBAL GOVERNANCE FRONT, IATP'S EFFORTS TO PUT INDUSTRIAL ANIMAL PRODUCTION ON THE RADAR OF THE COMMITTEE ON WORLD FOOD SECURITY (CFS) PAID OFF WITH THEIR RECENT DECISION TO ADDRESS LIVESTOCK IN ONE OF ONLY TWO HIGH LEVEL PANEL OF EXPERTS REPORTS AT THE CFS ANNUAL MEETING TO BE PRESENTED IN OCTOBER 2016. FUNGICIDES IN 2014 IATP BEGAN AN EXPLORATION OF THE SCOPE AND SEVERITY OF THE GROWING REPORTS OF FUNGICIDE RESISTANCE. IATP'S WORK HAS INCLUDED A THOROUGH AND CONTINUING REVIEW OF LITERATURE AND NEWS REPORTS; THE CREATION OF A MONTHLY NEWSLETTER CALLED FUNGICIDE WATCH, SUMMARIZING NEWS ON FUNGICIDE RESISTANCE; BLOGS AND AN IN-DEPTH REPORT, FUNGICIDE RESISTANCE: RISK AND CONSEQUENCES IN MODERN AGRICULTURE; AND A WEBINAR WITH INTERNATIONAL PARTICIPATION. FARM TO INSTITUTION WORKING IN PARTNERSHIP WITH COMMUNITY ACTION PARTNERSHIP OF RAMSEY AND WASHINGTON COUNTIES (CAPRW), HEAD START AND THE HMONG AMERICAN FARMERS ASSOCIATION (HAFA), IATP LAUNCHED A SUCCESSFUL "FARM TO HEAD START" PILOT PROGRAM, SERVING FRESH LOCAL FOODS AND TEACHING CHILDREN ABOUT THEIR LOCAL FOOD SYSTEM AT VARIOUS HEAD START CENTERS IN ST. PAUL. IATP HAS CONTINUED IN ITS ROLE AS FARM TO SCHOOL COMMUNITY PARTNER FOR ST.
