Four commodities cause most #deforestation: #beef #palmoil #soy #wood and #paper products. Causing the loss of 5 mill ha each year. Organised #crime is another invisible key driver. Take action! #BoycottPalmOil #Boycott4Wildlife @palmoildetect.bsky.social palmoildetectives.com/2022/02/…

in reply to Palm Oil Detectives • • •Just a note that less than 5% of soy production is for human consumption (soy beans, tofu, tempeh, soy milk, etc. excluding vegetable oil). The rest is used for direct and processed animal feed (~75%), biofuels (~4%), and vegetable oil (~14%)
So, folks can keep eating soy and soy products, but best to avoid soy cooking oil, and reduce or eliminate animal consumption.
