How can palm oil be more sustainable? The Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil and WWF's role in it

Is that music from the sims in the background...?

Palm oil is one of Malaysia and Indonesia's biggest export. The west wants us to be more environmental friendly? We adopted RSPO, MSPO, ISPO etc. Would like to hear if there are any certified sustainability standards practised by soybean farmers? I believe there are none. Hence, we are definitely more eco-friendly

We need to start by first changing the narrative. Remove the negative narrative about palm oil and then address the environmental concerns. At the moment Palm Oil has been branded too negative and as such the efforts to try make it sustainable might fell into deaf ears because of people have switched ot thinking you are all negative about it. So first let's brand it correctly - that this is a great gift of nature which God gave us and that through great farming management practices it can do the world great good. Then move to educate people on this great farming management practices to make sure its impact is all positive. Remember, if people abandon palm oil they will go to other sources of oils instead of abandoning edible oils altogether. And we all know that the other sources are not as efficient as palm oil. In fact, the lost of all palm oil byproducts will be huge because these byproduct could help drive other industries e.g. livestock, construction, briquettes production, paper production, printing, etc. The amount of livestock feed palm tree can product per hectare will take sunflower 20 times of hectares to produce.

3:49 what does it mean 'wildlife on plantations is protected'? Wildlife can't thrive on plantations, only in forests which are burnt to make room for plantations. It does not make much sense to me...

It is great to hear that WWF has taken steps to make Palm Oil more sustainable. As someone who is actively disregarding any item (usually only checked with groceries) that contain any sort of palm oil (kernel, modified etc) is there a way to tell which has undergone the RSPO certification?

[adriamerton]

I agree with Iceland (the store) which aims to avoid All items containing palm oil, ; how can we be sure that all producers suppliers manufacturers etc are honest and stick to 'the Rules' on producing and using 'Sustainable Palm Oil'?

RSPO only protects primary forest (= forests that have never been impacted by human beings)... which is the same as saying they don't protect anything.

Why is the sims playing in the background?

[nafisa.t]

Failed to point out... that the RSPO's P&Cs hardly include any ACTUAL guidelines for implementations, and the members of the RSPO have several vested interests. And only 20% of PO is actually sustainable, even today. Haha.

If you listen carefully, you can hear the sims 4 ost in the background 😂

[maeryan]

They are acting as if they are saved the forest but they didn’t add how much they deforested. I went to Borneo and there were endless palm plantations. No matter how ‘sustainable ‘ it is, it is still not good. I admit this is hypocritical and that no system is perfect as even if palm oil was eliminated, another crop would replace it.

[xweetokfairy]

They didn't properly explain how palm oil can be sustainable so idk

what's up with the sims music in the background :DD

[maestrohun]

"MORE SUSTAINABLE" is not equal with "SUSTAINABLE". Am I right?
It means only, just a step forward to sustainable, but It is not sustainable. ;) PR is just a playground of words.... Good PR job, But what about sustainable? Not the customers decided to use palmoil in product, Comapnies decided it for more profit. So make all the process to clear, without corruption and with sustainable, OK? I also pay taxes, and take responsible to the state and laws, so make Companies process also clear and responsible over the law and enviroments as We have to do. Thank you very much!

Palm oil production is the most efficient one compared to sunflower and etc. So many years but 20% adopted. Asking other country not to deforestation why not do something practical like paying Brazil the money to maintain forest at the expense of their country development. Stupid RSPO

[clairehuffman]

Anyone else notice that the background music is from sims 4

Imagine only having 1K likes after 6 years, forced to watch this in school, sucks dislike

[slporter]

Statistically, there has to be at least one inspector taking bribes to look another way. Humanity is flawed when money is involved. Therefore, I choose to drop palm oil use and find other products that do not use it. It's too risky for our planet and the other inhabitants other than ourselves. To say I have little trust in your group says a lot. This is also 100% infographics, and ZERO footage of 'on the ground' reporting that shows us what you're doing instead of flying everyone everywhere to meet and chat. :(
