Palm oil has the highest yield out of all oil plants. So if we want to meet the same oil demand with another crop we would have to clear a lot more land for this. Not to mention other oils cost more BECAUSE they have lower yields than palm oil. So replacing palm oil will make cooking oil more expensive
I dont know firstly where the palm oli is comes from but when i looked the brand of the cooking oil "minyak kita" i know its from indonesia. That is the subsidized brand from the goverment to the people. We use palm oil every day for cooking. Cheers from Indonesia.😊😊😊
@@VijaygKamatyes, mostly when the country doesn't has palm oil tree but the importer. And the importer country pursue the world to do the forestation without looking at the mirror his/her own country is CO2 producer.
Our forests, oceans, water, and climate are strained to the breaking point. Food insecurity and poverty lead to untold suffering. Palm oil already lifted millions of people from Poverty in Malaysia and Indonesia. Palm oil is the most efficient vegetable oil . At the very best practice one single acre of palm oil can produce up to 5.6 ton of vegetable oil , compare to soy just produce about 0,16 ton of vegetable oil. It is a miracle product . And ubiqtuous or versatile
@@danielward7008it is black campaign from the europe and USA. if we want to talk climate justice you have to look at the CO2 percapita and legacyemissions percapita from around the globe The people from developed nations has bigger carbon footprint than those the poor and disadvantaged communities from developing nations such as Indonesia .
@@danielward7008 who is the most responsible for climate change??? The rich, those people from developed nations such as US, UK, China, Japan , UEA, Arab etc. The disadvantaged communities and the small holders farmer from developing country has much lower CO2 emissions per capita than the rich from developed country
In 2021, China, the United States, the EU27, India, Russia and Japan remained the world's largest CO2 emitters. In my own opinion , it is more trustworthy and ethical if the laser focus on those people . Because when we talk about climate change, we also needs to talk about environmental justice and social justice
It can be at a high level in butter as cows are often feed palm kernel as a cheap by product of the oil extraction process. this can alter the outcome of baking as oil incorporates differently to produce a unexpected outcome to the cook.
If we use corn, olive, soy, peanut, sunflower, or safflower oil, we will need to clear much more ground, ruin more rain forrest and destroy more environment problems. It is better to use palm oil because palm oil has much higher oil yields per acre or per hectare.
People really don't get it. Palm oil is saving these areas. Palm oil is extremely area effective crop, you don't need as much space to make the same amount of money as with almost all other crops, and those have downsides. If palm oil didn't exist, these people would plant cash crops that demand far larger areas. Clearing far larger areas than currently.
The fundamental issue you need to get is farmers in Asia slash and burn new forest areas to cultivate palm. Regular cash crops are grown in available land
If I may paraphrase on old Cree proverb: Only when the last (palm) tree has been cut down, the last river poisoned, and the last fish caught... only then will man realize that he cannot eat money.
@@ecoideazventures6417 No, you have no idea what you are talking about. First off palm is a regular cash crop in asia, not some sort of special one, like people in west seem to think. The other cash stables of rubber/coffee/cocoa. Take huge amount of time to grow before any return, so are categorically different kind of cultivation. So eliminate palm oil, and they change into a slash and burn crop that takes immensely more space for the same cash return.
@@MrJustCallMeJames yea, these western thinkers think they know everything and know the best, less and lesser people outside them are buying their bs anymore these days
@@ecoideazventures6417 These available land you mentioned used to be forest as well, so why dont the western country turned it into forest instead of generating income from the land if they are concerned about the environment. Or maybe profits from their income be shared to these southeast asean community to maintain the forest. Ppl need to eat, so by complaining wont resolve this issue
If you don't consume so much oil, so much soap, so much basic needs, then maybe you wouldn't need the most efficient oil crop in the world. And I think it is unfair to label that Palm Oil Plantation involve burning down forests. In Malaysia, the reason states like Johor is covered 38% by the palm oil plantation would be that these are the legacy of the Rubber Plantations left behind the British. It is not exactly as damaging as we like to think. And perhaps, yeast on the grapes might be better. And well who knows, we might finally not need plantations. But where are you going to get that much waste proteins and sugars?
i went on study trip deep inside jungle of west borneo, there was no jungle, palm trees stretched as far as our drone could see. one of palm plantation we visit was owned and exclusively runs by south korean company, they used aggressive land clearing by burning all of those ancient forest, entire ecosystem vanish just like that. we couldn't even spot a single primate, none. let alone Rhinoceros hornbill that we hope to see outside conservation zones. locals and indigenous are literally in a form of modern slavery to this company, local labour were cheap or else the company hired cheaper one from other parts of the islands... many indigenous lose their way of lives of hunter and gathers because corrupt local officials sold their ancestral lands to this company... their only means to survive for now is just by working for this company where's pension and health benefits are literally non existence...
palm oil, meat, energy, transportation, construction… wouldn’t be such a problem, if people learned to consume as much as they need, instead of more than they can.
It wouldn't be a problem if human population was much smaller. Billions of people means more energy, food, water and other resources are required, which will make climate change worse. Unfortunately, territorial, cultural and racial conflicts have been encouraging population growth race
Interesting. You wanna choose to pay more for RSPO certification products, or pay more for this alternative oil and let the Indonesian & Malaysia farmer lose their incomes.
No one questions the mono-culture groves. In nature, all plants thrive together. Mono-culture doesn't exist. Is a natural palm forest grown anywhere? Why isn't it the rule, or experimented with?
well... if most of tropical rain forests are turned into palm oil plantation I think we all gonna face a serious issue. sooner or later palm oil will turn the land into desert. Maybe CCP knew this already and therefore they are turning their desert into jungle I think in the future clean water will be very expensive
Palm oil is not only bad for the planet, but also not so kind to your health. Novel food is the way to go....only if we could let people learn more about all these alternatives and embrace them as replacement.
@@barracudastocks But if you look at yields of palm oil compared to other type of edible oil grown in this world, palm oil yields are much higher. Hence it would be better for soy bean oil, grape seed oil, canola oil, sunflower oil and olive oil farm to be replanted into a forest to reduce global warming.
@@spacetoast7783 The slander stems from a smear campaign in 1980s by an American soybean company and eventually the corn oil industry. Palm oil is just too competitive in terms of prices so the campaign was used to maintain the use of domestically produced vegetable oils. If you are from the US or western Europe you will hear about the countless article and reports on the so called health effects of palm oil, whereas if you are on anywhere else of the Earth, you won't hear about them. The common anecdote is that when fast food companies used palm oil in their menu, it is then associated with heart diseases and obesity. But if you use your brain for a moment there, you will realise that it doesn't matter what kind of oil they are using, they are just simply using too much of it. And that is exactly what happened from 1990 to 2010, where the embargo on palm oil didn't really affected the obesity rate in America, as a matter of fact the rate climbed during the time, due to economy boom leading to increased income of average American household.
I am 50 years old, I grow up and use it in a daily basis. I am healthy and still can run 5 to 7 km daily. That's to show you a true facts, not from 3rd parties opinions.
No they aren't evil per se. Its just the consequenses of Globalization. It may seem the developing countries doing all the 'bad work' but without them, europe will crumble and america will fall. Every country relies to each other, so this problem is actually evryone's proble.

All we ask for is reasonable standards and regulations for businesses and their owners
When a person / business is there to make money, there is no REASONING.
I always go for
coconut oil and olive oil
Since when planting stuff for our consumption is a bad thing.
When it destroys natural habitats and releases tons of emissions it's a bad thing.
