Can We Get Rid of Palm Oil?
Concerns over the sustainability of palm oil have triggered debates about its role in a bio-based economy, but can we get rid of it?

However, currently, technical and financial support for land-users to adopt sustainable land-use practices in the cultivation of palm oil is largely missing.
