PALM OIL

Transcript: How is Palm Oil Extracted? The End Where did Palm Oil Originate? PALM OIL Fruit bunches are cut off by a motorized or manual sickle. The fruit is sterilized, threshed and crushed. The largest palm plantations and areas of mass deforestation are in Borneo and Sumatra. Environmental Impacts Linked to deforestation, habitat degradation, climate change, animal cruelty, and indigenous people's rights abuses. 300 football fields of rainforest is cleared each hour worldwide. Palm oil is a major contributor to climate change as burned & felled trees release masses of green house gases. This industry is the biggest threat to orangutans. 1000-5000 are killed each year. What is Palm Oil? Palm oil is extracted from the fruit (flesh and kernel) of the oil palm tree. The oil from the flesh is edible but the kernel oil is not. Kernel oil is used as fuel or livestock feed. Palm oil can be found in margarine, cereals, crisps, sweets, baked goods, soaps, confectionery, washing powders, toothpaste and cosmetics. Social Impacts Indigenous people that live in places of mass deforestation are being forced to move out. This is due to lack of necessities such as clean drinking water and fertile soil. This oil is mass produced so it is cheaper to buy and use than other oils. It is used in almost 50%of packaged supermarket goods. Products That Use Palm Oil Oil Palms originated in West Africa. Palm oil has been an essential ingredient in traditional West African cuisine for thousands of years. 50% of packaged products in supermarkets have palm oil in them. 65% of vegetable oil used is palm oil. By 2020 use of palm oil is expected to double.

Transcript: Breathing Problems The Hazardous levels of haze from forest fires all over Malaysia and Indonesia have been an irritating to neighboring countries in Southeast Asia. The haze originates from the from the forest fires burning, from palm oil companies who use illegal burning tactics in order to clear forest land quickly and cheaply. Since carbon dioxide is the major source of global warming, tropical rainforest deforestation is an also a contributor to global warming. Because trees take in carbon dioxide when you burn the forrest it emits the carbon dioxide back into air increasing the risks of the global warming The destruction of large quantities of tropical rain forest for palm oil plantations is bound to have disastrous consequences because the burning of the tropical rainforests produces smoke. The smoke can affect the air quality and peoples health. Most people recover quickly from exposure to smoke and do not suffer long-term effects but others that are more prone to suffer include: people suffering from existing cardiac or respiratory conditions, such as asthma those with complications from diabetes smokers, as smoke increases the risk of reduced lung function infants and very young children frail older people. Burning of the rain Forrest Inconvenience Global Warming Irritating neighboring countries PALM OIL Air Quality The toxic haze has caused many inconveniences such as school and office closing, delayed/canceled flights and is still continuing to cost neighboring countries millions of dollars in productivity and efficiency.

Transcript: Classification of selectively logged forests as 'degraded' allows their conversion to oil palm, but have been found to still hold high amounts of diversity Oil palm cultivation may open up access to previously inaccessible areas for further development and logging Expansion as part of a combined economic enterprise Other issues... Forest concession rights given to private sector interests based on categories in 'Agreed Functional Forest Classification' (TGHK), and Provincial Land Use Planning (RTRWP). Especially when There are debates taking place between the conservation community and the governments of Indonesia and Malaysia as to the degree that oil palm is directly responsible for deforestation. Intended to stem deforestation from plantation expansion but in reality encourages it: Colchester et al., 2007 Source: FAOstat (Accessed 23.11.12) So, EU biofuel targets announced in 2003 raised economic incentive to grow palm oil why look at Indonesia and Malaysia? Causes of oil palm expansion Other variables are not considered (Roberts, 2012) Corruption in allocation of tree crop concessions in Malaysia logging Koh and Wilcove, 2008 How can we try to understand... Fitzherbert et al, 2008 Fitzherbert et al., 2008 Early 1990s: 'Smallholder agriculture' identified by EU and World Bank as being primary cause for agricultural expansion and deforestation in Indonesia Sandker, Suwarno and Campbell, 2007 EU report, cited in Sunderlin and Resosudarmo, 1996 What efforts are being made to stem the negative impacts? Key drivers of tropical deforestation Economic Fitzherbert et al. 2008 Different estimates as to the extent that oil palm cultivation directly causes deforestation: Carlson et al, 2012 There is evidence to suggest that oil palm expansion is a driver for deforestation, and has other ecological and social impacts oil palm What role is oil palm playing in this? Majority of oil palm production in Indonesia and Malaysia takes place on a large scale Koh and Wilcove, 2009 Indirect routes Wicke et al., 2011 However, frequently not subsequently planted with oil palm Koh and Wilcove, 2008 Large numbers of people are employed in the oil palm industry, either directly or in derivative industries Growing oil palm on recently felled areas EU was drafting a ban on import of biofuels that had been grown on certain kinds of land (Kanter, 2008) (Tan et al, 2009) Carbon release through deforestation Removal of carbon sinks Peatland destruction McCarthy, Gillespie and Zen, 2012 Inverse correlation between population and deforestation, and positive correlation with agricultural expansion Infrastructure development Policy and Institutional Failed to distinguish smallholder agriculture from shifting cultivation- former far more damaging than latter.

Palm Oil:

Transcript: When the palm trees are cut and burned, the carbon being stored into the ground is released as CO2 into the atmosphere. Conclusion: The continuation of deforestation of the African oil palm will cause mass extinctions, and an exponential increase in greenhouse gasses. The Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil has created some guidelines to limit the amount of deforestation because of palm oil. People think about replacing palm oil with other vegetable oil, but it would be the same. The evidence against the effects of plowing down acres of palm oil has shown us that this road will definitely lead to destruction. The greenhouse gas levels have already risen. Animals are losing their lives and homes. People are being displaced and forced to work in dangerous conditions What is palm oil? Choose products that are palm oil free Become aware of the issues around the world Let our leaders know that we care OVERVIEW In addition By Researchers at the University of Bath Elaeis guineensis 40 to 50 percent of all household items are made with palm oil.

Palm Oil

Transcript: Market Competition Aim: to reduce Norwegian palm oil consumption and to expose the link between deforestation and the production of this vegetable oil. was developed in collaboration with the organization Green Living, targeted all major food producers in Norway. The campaign asked major food companies to disclose their palm oil use and whether palm oil was certified under the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO), an eco-certification initiative. Producers were asked to disclose details about their use of palm oil, and whether the palm oil was sourced from sustainable sources. Did you know We need to do something now before it's too late and we lose some of the most unique and beautiful species our planet has ever seen. We have the right to chose whether or not we want to be a part of an industry that is condemning illegal activity on a global scale. Campaign regarding environmental issue: large percentage of products in your household will contain palm oil no laws on the mandatory labeling of palm oil Consumer are blinded because its hidden under the name of vegetable oil high in Omega 6 fatty acid, which is associated with arthritis, inflammation, and even breast and prostate cancer. These can be further classified into: Palm Oil Strategies against threats large percentage of products in your household will contain palm oil no laws on the mandatory labeling of palm oil Consumer are blinded because its hidden under the name of vegetable oil high in Omega 6 fatty acid, which is associated with arthritis, inflammation, and even breast and prostate cancer. In the 1980s, American Soybean Association (ASA) smear campaigns on tropical oils- anti-tropical oil campaigns because tropical oils were competing with the U.S. soybean oil market as an alternative vegetable oil, yet they were higher in saturated fat, which had become the target of the health promotion community for its theoretical association with coronary heart disease risk. Caused palm oil prices to suffer a big discount to soybean oil Strategies employed to diversify the market away from US investing in refineries in consuming countries nutritional studies were carried out to refute the health insinuations Short video clip posted by Greenpeace ad on youtube History The "killer" logo used by supporters as a profile picture WWF commenced exploring the possibilities for a Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil-2001 Result-informal co-operation among Aarhus United UK Ltd, Migros, Malaysian Palm Oil Association and Unilever together with WWF-2002 Constituted as an Organizing Committee-to organize the first Roundtable meeting and to prepare the foundation for the organizational and governance structure for the formation of the RSPO Inaugural meeting(21 - 22 August'03), attended by 200 participants from 16 countries. Key output from this meeting-adoption of the Statement of Intent (SOI)-(non-legally binding expression of support for the Roundtable process.) "Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO)," was formally established under Article 60 of the Swiss Civil Code with a governance structure that ensures fair representation of all stakeholders throughout the entire supply chain-8th April '04 Growing global concern that products are produced without undue harm to the environment or society is a seal of approval that the palm oil used in the product is indeed so produced and volumes are traceable. Producers are certified through strict verification of the production process, to the stringent RSPO P&C The certified sustainable palm oil (RSPO Oil) is traceable through the supply chain Palm oil is high in saturated fat and low in polyunsaturated fat. Consumption of food high in saturated fat will lead to promotion of heart disease, increases of cholesterol levels, raises blood pressure which are the main causes of one of the world's biggest killers; cardiovascular disease Palm oil not a healthy substitute for trans fats held at 17th May 2010 goal: complete protection of Indonesia's rainforests and carbon-rich peatlands the palm oil and paper supply chain of Nestle Company- Sinar Mas, was involved in owning or managing 'high risk' plantations or farms linked to deforestation Sinar Mas- has repeatedly caught destroying the rainforest habitat of orang-utan lost my home... T.T Mission market competition Palm Kernel Eight major producers have cut their consumption with some 9 600 tons – a reduction of nearly two thirds of the total consumption of 15 000 tons. The Norwegian company Stabburet used to be one of the largest buyers of palm oil, but has now established a policy to avoid all use. The largest buyer, Mills, has reduced its use by 95 per cent as of June this year. -edible oil -derived from the fruits (mesocarp) of oil palm -reddish in color due to the presence of high carotene content -different from palm kernel oil which is derived from the kernel of the same fruit-palm mesocarp oil is 41% saturated -Malaysia: is one of the biggest producer and exporter for
