In January 2018, the European Parliament voted to ban the use of palm oil for biofuels. A decision that shocked the world's palm oil producers and millions of farmers who rely on their income from palm oil, sparking a diplomatic row between Europe and Southeast Asia.
Three years since the ban, questions of its environmental impacts remain: What will happen to smallholder palm oil farmers? Is there a better way to protect rainforests from deforestation? What are the alternatives to palm oil?
The Center for Sustainable Palm Oil Studies (CSPO) partnered with leading environmentalists and sustainability experts to explore these questions. Whilst boycotting palm oil has become a go-to response for reducing deforestation, this approach is unlikely to work. In recent years, studies have shown how this strategy has devastating environmental consequences.
The fight against deforestation can only be won by ensuring the sustainability of palm oil. In this regard, Malaysia is a notable case study, showing why tackling deforestation requires working with the farmers on the ground. Their voices cannot be forgotten.
