Confused about palm oil? We’re heading deep into the former rainforests of South East Asia to explore the huge palm oil plantations that fuel far more of the food industry in the west than we realise (and also chop down quite a lot of the lush forest greenery).
Things we chatted about:
WWF Palm Oil Buyers Scorecard: http://palmoilscorecard.panda.org/
Buycott app to scan your produce and find out whether it contains palm oil or ties to any other unsustainable practices: https://www.buycott.com/
RSPO certification to identify sustainable sources of palm oil: https://rspo.org/certification
Theme music and sound mixed by Mark Skinner.
