The Central Union of Agricultural Producers and Forest Owners (MTK) has a key and role model in sustainable development, human rights, prevention of diseases and health and strength of people and future generations:

1. Addressing the goal of stopping deforestation and losses of biodiversity and the importance of saving forests in Finland and abroad. Encouraging a global push towards forestation, biodiversity and sustainable development
in the 5th International Forest Owners Congress in Finland in next September 2006.

2. Acknowledging the fact that feeding domestic animals and people in Europe more and more with imported soya and meat from South America and Asia is unsustainable development.  (http://www.greenpeace.org/raw/content/international/press/reports/eating-up-the-amazon.pdf)

3. Taking a stand to save energy, to cut CO2 emissions and to promote the production of geothermal energy, bioenergy (biofuels and biogas) and wind energy through strengthening local economies (http://www.feasta.org/), taxation and cooperation, and by other means, and not bowing to the idea of exclusively centralized electricity and energy production.

4. Sending a message to national government and EU to support the global moratorium on Terminator technologies - genetically engineered sterile seeds - at the UN Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) as Terminator technologies threaten seriously human rights, long term agriculture, biodiversity, food security and the diversive livelihood of the humankind.

5. Supporting studies of organic agriculture and promoting diversity, development and investments of the government, companies and farmers towards self-supporting organic agriculture and production of organic foods based on facts for human, animal and plant health (disease prevention), sustainable agriculture and environment.
