$VERBAL DIARRHEA $

The features listed below all focus on free trade, agriculture and/or small scale agriculture in Southeast Asia.  I hope they offer some insight for someone out there.  All the associated articles can be used by for any not-for-profit popularization effort provided proper reference is given to me - the author and owner of all these articles.

This for That & That for This is a collection of documents on trade that form the basis for RRAFA's community discussions on Free Trade in agriculture and the expected effects Free Trade will have on farmers' everyday lives.  This is largely for anyone looking for assistance in developing a approach to discuss agricultural free trade with their communities.  It contains a guide to the Agreement on Agriculture of the WTO, a guide to the evolution of global  free trade, some of the actual GATT/WTO agreements on free trade and a set of pictures from my field work talking to Thai villagers about national and international policies on agricultural trade liberalization.

East Timor I had the tremendous opportunity to visit the Island-State of in January, 1999.  I was part of a mission investigating the massive food aid being sent to Indonesia in the latter part of 1998.  This is my report.

My Latest Beefs is a collection of  articles addressing the subject of Food Security and Agricultural Free Trade, either for various fora I have attended, for the local media or for simply helping myself to understand the greater picture. While most articles address the Thai situation, I think they are applicable to the greater situation across the globe.
