Cargill HQ shut down by four tonne soya dump
A global week of action against the world's largest privately-owned company hit the Surrey stockbroker belt this morning. Greenpeace volunteers arrived at the European Headquarters of commodities giant Cargill at 6am before dumping nearly four tonnes of soya over the vehicle entrance and chaining themselves to a locked gate across the only access road. The company has now closed the office and sent its 300 employees home.

You may never have heard of Cargill, but they are the largest privately-owned company in the world. They also happen to be one of the major culprits in the continuing destruction of the Amazon rainforest, driving deforestation to make room for soya plantations. That soya is then shipped out to Europe for animal feed.

European companies urged to reject criminal cargo from Cargill
Sao Paulo/London, 19 May 2006
A team of climbers from the Greenpeace ship Arctic Sunrise shut down Cargill's illegal soya export facility in the heart of the Amazon rainforest today. The soya, which is exported to Europe as animal feed, is grown in deforested areas of the Amazon rainforest.

Soya farming is chewing up the Amazon rainforest at unprecedented rates as huge areas are cleared to make way for massive monoculture plantations. In the Name of Progress, a film produced by Greenpeace, illustrates the devastating effects that the booming soya market is having on the world's largest remaining rainforest.
