In 2020, global retail giant Unilever unveiled a deforestation-free supply chain promise. By 2023 they would be deforestation free. This has been and gone and they are still causing deforestation. …Palm Oil Detectives

in reply to Palm Oil Detectives • • •I'm always a little uncomfortable about this issue. The UK used to be covered by woodland but most of them have been cleared over the last centuries leaving farmland and a biodiversity desert.
Malaysia where I am at the moment went through mass clearances for rubber production and now they are mostly cleared along with more rainforest for oil palms.
I suspect the alternative would be clearance for other forms of agriculture which is probably even worse.

Unknown parent • • •@X31Andy This argument fails to account for a major issue - #extinction risk. Other crops can be grown on land far less biodiverse than #palmoil. Palm oil can only be grown on razed and destroyed tropical rainforest, where the highest number of animals and plants live. That's ONE THING. Another is that there is now #palmoil made from microbes, carbon dioxide, fungi and algae being generated and commercialised. This is made in a lab and requires ZERO DEFORESTATION to produce. So which would you prefer? More here
