Few ingredients are as widespread or as notorious as palm oil. But although this crop is a major driver of deforestation, this oil might just be our most sustainable option. So what can we do to make palm oil production more sustainable?

No. In a world with perfect oversight this could be more sustainable. However, I highly doubt there would be strict and consistent regulations that I would trust plantation owners to not destroy the forests. I know this is done in places where there is little opportunity. I doubt a village would agree to burning down forests and breathing in smoke unless there is an economic incentive. I would rather develop opportunity another way. But, I realize that is not an option for most people.

Palm oil's isn't 'bad' when compared to other types of consumable oil. What is egregious is the fact that DW fails to highlight what lead to palm oil so called 'notorious' reputation. The US and EU are to blame for the smear campaign against palm oil which was orchestrated to protect their soy industry. Which might I add is practicing far worst unsustainable practices when compared to palm oil cultivation. Now, they've come to the realization that they might not be able to eliminate palm oil just yet...and thus this report was commissioned to mark their U-turn on palm oil and its many benefits. Hah! Hypocrites!

If you look closely at deforestation issues in Malaysia you'll understand the trees that were cut down has nothing to do with the palm oil plantation industry. Deforestation happened because of the high demand for wood production (hardwood), especially for the market in Europe and East Asia (China and Japan). Almost 90% of plantations in Malaysia belong to the listed estate companies. They cannot simply clear the land and turn it into palm oil plantations and risk their RSPO/MSPO accreditation that could affect their whole business.

@@hiyukelavie2396 Your arguments are not very strong. Highways don't need that much space. Only a couple of meters on each side. Doesn't justify the huge deforestation.

@@CaptainVita "Highways only need a couple meters on each side" Uhm, wrong. So very, very wrong. Look up images of the autobahn in Germany and see what's on either side of them. Do you really think it looked like that in their natural state? No, don't be naive. Large swathes of land were cleared. They then replanted some grass or decorative trees to fill up the empty space. You can't have a freaking jungle teeming with wildlife just a few meters away from a highway. It's a stupidly dangerous hazard. There are codes and regulations for these things. In Malaysia's case, instead of replanting the empty land on both sides of the highway with functionless, decorative trees, they replanted them with oil palm. It's a much more intelligent usage of existing land Again, no one said that no forest was cleared for oil palm. How do you think cash crops work? Do you think they just magically sprung up in the middle of a pristine forest? You sweet, sweet summer child. Show me any example of industrial crops being grown without any land being cleared. Maybe in this fantasy world in your mind it exists. The point here is HOW land is being cleared. Indonesia, being impatient and greedy, went for the cheapest method available, the slash and burn method. Cheap and quick, but environmentally disastrous

To me, this mostly comes down to the fact that we need to eat less processed foods. Sure, it might be one of the better sources of oil, but if we ate less processed foods then we would need less oil overall. Obviously we can’t just completely cut out all processed foods because then we’ll have a lot of food waste…but when I’m in the grocery store I regularly see shoppers who’s whole cart is filled with processed junk…

In most cases, buying less procesesd foods dosn't make a difference, since we would still have to process the products by ourselves in order to create the product we want. It dosn't really matter if a product is produced in our homes or in a factory. In fact factories can be more energy- and ressourceefficient then individual production.

But because us as mankind aren't efficient in consuming the product (expired food, soap, cosmetics, etc), the manufacturer had to increase their production in order to fill those demands and in the process, the plantation company themself had to increase their palm oil yield by opening more plantations with the price of deforestation.

Large companies actually HAVE to implement sustainable practices because getting a loan from banks requires this now (through the audit process, the plantations are checked quite regularly). There are definitely bad players out there, but there are also lots of good ones who actually are making an effort.

There are also plantations out there who actually grow other food crops between the palm oil trees so that the land is fully utilised.

Cars aren't bad, it depends on HOW you use it. [...] All these issues need to get tackled from several directions. Palm oil is in so many processed foods that noone really needs. It's not in there, because it's good, but because it's cheap. So people simply have to stop eating that many processed foods. Most of them are bad anyway. Besides that, all those issues would be WAY less dramatic, if we wouldn't waste that many ressources.

Meat is always bad because of the climate impact. Explosion motor cars also are bad if we're collectively poisoning the whole planet and ourselves. Also, palm oil IS the reason those processed foods are unhealthy! Palmitic acid is by far the unhealthiest fatty acid. Combine that with corn syrup that's in almost all of them too and you get a sure health destroying bomb.

I am glad some people look at the situation from a different light. Not a single thing in the world is black and white, everything is a shade of each. In Norway, a few years ago, there was a "aware campaign" about parabens in makeup... and it was so successful, that makeup in Norway does not contain parabens anymore... The silly thing is parabens are naturally in some food, and also used in other food. For instance, there is a lot of parabens in "mackerel in tomato sauce" which is a breakfast spread, which is very popular in Norway, especially for children. One slice of bread with mackerel will give you the same amount of parabens you would get if you bathe in makeup. As the conclusion touches upon. It's not the product itself that is the problem, the issue is with how it's grown.

Stop using vegetable oil for fuel (reusing filtered, old, cooking oil is okay, but not new oil). Electric cars will dominate in the future The only biofuel worth considering (for the niche applications that batteries yet ain't viable for) is"biogas"(since it's made only from biological waste, like food leftovers and animal manure anyway and doesn't require any extra land area). Biogas is also known as renewable methane, unlike natural gas (fossil methane). In the future when batteries are so good that we no longer need biogas we can still continue capture it, but instead of using it we can put it back into the ground where we took all that natural gas from before and by that way using it as a carbon capture method way more efficient than planting trees.

It's ridiculously obvious what is missing in this equation: there is a high demand of palm oil because there is a high demand of ultra-processed foods and cosmetics. The only possible solution to deforestation for palm oil is to make better food choices and get better legislation regarding food production and distribution. Because you wouldn't consume much palm oil if most of your diet consisted of fresh, smaller scale, local-grown food. This isn't a special problem of this one particular crop, this is a problem with our current food production system, from wheat, to soy, to almonds, fish and red meat... bad food practices are causing ecological desasters all around the world.

Our indonesian workers can get around USD700-900/month depend on production. They only work 7days +7days. That USD700-900 way higher than average salary in indonesia. The average civil servant salary in indonesia less than USD500. We paid for the medical we also paid for the vaccine!

If you don't mind eating processed oils in general, then sure, go ahead! Also the processing cost (energy!) was rightly pointed out. But do you want to eat that? Oil is not like water, where you can just clean it and reuse it. It undergoes chemical changes under all those steps of processing which causes a lot of oxidation and forms molecules that are hazardous to health. I wouldn't want to eat it. Just because something CAN be done, doesn't mean it's a good way to spend time and energy... after all you could probably make "sustainable candles out of earwax", but you're probably better off milking olives for oil. 😂
