Press release Free the Soil:

Since 11.40 am of September 23, 2019, 500 activists in Brunsbüttel, Northern Germany, have blocked the production site of YARA, the world's largest producer of nitrogen fertilizers. In groups of several hundred people, they occupy the entrance gates. The activists from the climate justice movement thus draw attention to the harmful consequences on the climate by the production of synthetic fertilizers.

The international network Free the Soil has called for the blockade. The network wants to show the role of the agricultural industry in the worsening climate crisis. "For too long the agricultural industry has gone under the radar", says Laila Larsen from climate and agricultural justice camp near the blockade. About 50% of greenhouse gas emissions are related to food production. The production of nitrogen fertilizers is highly energy-intensive and is based on the use of fossil natural gas, which is largely produced by fracking. Linda Kauert, who is part of the Free the Soil network adds: “Food production must finally end up in the hands of the people who consume it. Agricultural corporations such as YARA make small farmers dependent on their products and damage the climate”. The activists announce that they want to maintain the blockade indefinitely.

Wat knip en plakwerk van de liveticker. Het laatste nieuws is dat iedereen van de twee blokkades om 3 uur gezamenlijk vertrekt. Als demonstratie weer terug naar het actiekamp. We kwamen met zijn alleen en we gaan ook als groep weer weg. Hoewel er bij de streng bewaakte westelijke ingang wel wat verkeer in en uit ging, onder andere de werknemers en de fabriek de afgelopen 36 uur niet stil heeft gelegen, hebben we het Yara wel lastig gemaakt.
Er was vrij veel aandacht in de Duitse media en de berichtgeving was in het algemeen positief over de actie en over onze argumenten. Mogelijk later wat links (als er weer internet is in het kamp).

Als je uren naar een weg aan het staren bent om politiebewegingen te volgen kun je maar beter de tijd doden met wat schetsen van langslopende koeien.
