This Invention Is Saving the Rainforest! | Sustainable Alternative to Palm Oil

- This lab in New York City is saving the rainforest! C16 Biosciences have created a truly sustainable alternative to Palm Oil using yeast! Palm oil is in 50% of supermarket products, from peanut butter to soap and snacks. And in order to harvest palm oil, humans have been destroying our rainforests to plant this mono crop, killing wildlife, creating slave-like working conditions and accelerating climate change. C16 Biosciences’ solution can be produced vertically in huge tanks, rather than horizontally across vital landscapes and ecosystems.

This sounds great but does it really solve the problem? - what happens to the land previously used for palm oil production and the people who earn a living from it? Presumably they would start growing a different crop, which could be worse.
Why not start to regrow the rainforest and incentivise governments to do so!
@@GoingGreenOfficial who does the incentivising? And how do the locals earn a living from the rain forest? We have to ensure climate equity as we move forward.
The important question is when will this process be more cost effective than extraction from the palm trees fruits?

Thank you!
why on earth does peanut butter have palm oil? strangest thing I've heard in a while. Here where I live, people just roast peanuts then grind them either using a grinding stone or machine. just salt it a bit. nothing else
We agree! They do it as it prevents the oil from separating but it is not needed
This is marvellous!! Could those engaged in palm oil take up this process instead and reinstate the rain forest habitats they have cultivated?
The big problem is really mono cropping I think. We need to farm in a way that isn't selfish, that isn't capitalistic, doesn't deplete nature but works in symbiosis with nature. I don't see why you couldn't theoretically make sustainable palm oil in a food forest setting or something like that.
Lets expedite this and put the plantations out of business and get them back to rain forrest
Thank you for the information!!
I'm not going to buy peanut butter until Palm Oil is no longer used!!
There are some brands that don’t use palm oil. Pip and nut in the UK are great!
@@GoingGreenOfficial Thank you very Much for Sharing This!!
Great to know that I can buy peanut butter without any palm oil in it!!
I'm definitely going to look for those brands!!
Namasté 🙏💞

Peanut butter only needs to include peanuts and salt. I only buy that kind of peanut butter.
you are wasting your time just because you don't have rain forest in your areas, can your yeast produce palmitic acid, developing a sustainable way to encourage the ecosystem to thrive is the only solution.
if you care about rain forest why do you construct your houses with 80% woods,(are they produced with your yeast were they not products from afforestation and ecosystem depletion) stop deceiving yourselves.
doing a cutting edge research like yours is welcoming because it pushes boundaries and creates advancement however don't be delusional by trying to antagonize palm oil simply because they can't survive in Americas and Europe
Useless research. Those bio things won't replace palm oil because it won't reach the same amount of production as palm oil and the cost is huge.
Why??? Destroying and damaging for palm oil 🙁😡
Palm oil needs to GO
