Brought this article by @hillaryrosner in @NatGeoMag w/ me to Surat Thani, Thailand as I pondered this quote: “Palm oil is unavoidable. Can it be sustainable?” Agree? Read. Ponder & Follow this thread for more…

#SDGs #Sustainability #PalmOil
In case you ever wondered where #palmoil comes from. Have a look at the #palm oil fruit here. From my visit to Surat Thani, Thailand to learn more about #sustainability in this industry. Read more here via @hillaryrosner on.natgeo.com/2E8fwW8
DYK: The oil palm tree—Elaeis guineensis—is not native to Asia but comes from West & central Africa. At the heart of the “sustainable #palmoil” debate though are #Indonesia & #Malaysia, which account for 85% of all production. 📷: young #palm in Thailand

Read this thread on effects of misguided biofuel policies in the West on deforestation and massive carbon emissions.

The planet’s forests have the potential to sequester as much as a third of the carbon in the air. /1
Land use changes of natural forests are a key area around global carbon emissions.
Peatland forests such as the ones in Kalimantan, Indonesia, hold 12 times as much carbon as other tropical rainforests around the world. /2
The European Biofuel Mandate & the American Biofuels Law were designed to support soybean, wheat and corn farmers, not palm-oil producers in Indonesia. But they did do the latter causing massive slash-and-burn activities of peatland forests leading to unprecedented emissions. /3
