From Indonesia, Press Release, Save our Borneo: «For us «Sustainable» means palm oil companies free of human rights violations, that do not destroy forests and peat land as well as acknowledge the rights of the people living around their operations»
Nordin who is also a member of Sawit Watch explains that the main
problem is that principles and criteria of RSPO delegitimate the rules
and the law on plantations. The members of the RSPO were more afraid ofthe criteria than of the Indonesian law.
«The RSPO scheme serves the interests of the palm oil market, but is not in accordance with the law. In reality plantation companies very often violate the basic rights of the people in the field. They take over their land, many people have been jailed, and their environment is destroyed. Conflicts have to be resolved first, before any other issues will be dicussed», confirms Nordin.
Inside the RSPO meeting room, the manager of Musim Mas said that because of the criteria, the companies will perform better…
Nordin: «Better or not, we will continue to unveil the violations of the big palm oil companies. And we call the companies not to repeat such violations.»

Title: Fuelling Destruction in Latin America. The Real Price of the Drive for Agrofuels
Type of Document: Report

Earth Colombia. Silvia Quiroa, CESTA – Friends of the Earth El Salvador. Isaac Rojas, COECOCEIBA – Friends of the Earth Costa Rica. Mario Godinez, CEIBA – Friends of the Earth Guatemala.
Summary: La rápida expansión de los agrocombustibles en América Latina plantea un escenario de grandes beneficios empresariales y escasos beneficios para la población local. El informe refleja los desarrollos actuales y futuros en varios países de América Central y del Sur, dónde la producción de agrocombustibles está aumentando de forma espectacular para satisfacer los mercados internos y, de forma creciente, para satisfacer las demandas de diesel y gasolina de Europa y los EE.UU. Aumentar la cantidad de tierras destinadas al cultivo para agrocombustibles significa aumentar la deforestación y la destrucción de la fauna y flora, aumentando los conflictos por la tierra, la expulsión de las comunidades rurales, proporcionando pobres condiciones laborales y contaminación ambiental.

Título: Small farmers feed the world Industrial agrofuels fuel hunger and poverty
Autor: la Via Campesina
Resumen: Presented to the media on June24th, 2008 in Jakarta during the International Conference on Peasant Rights. “Right to grow, right to feed, right to eat” – The current massive wave of investment in energy production based on cultivating and industrial processing of vegetal materials like corn, soy, palm oil, sugar cane, canola, etc, will neither solve the climate crisis nor the energy crisis. It will also bring disastrous social and environmental consequences. It creates a new and very serious threat to food production by small farmers and to the attainment of food sovereignty for the world population.
Over the last twenty years the neoliberal pol

Title: Corn Can’t Save Us
Author: David Pimentel
Summary: Dwindling foreign oil, rising prices at the gas pump and hype from politically well-connected U.S. agribusiness have combined to create a frenzied rush to convert food grains into ethanol fuel. The move is badly conceived and ill advised. Corporate spin and pork barrel legislation aside, here, by the numbers, are the scientific reasons why corn won’t provide our energy needs.
