Fostering a climate-smart intensification for oil

  • Are there alternative methods for sustainable production of oil palm industry?
  • Selecting only the most suitable areas for oil palm production and increasing the yield of oil palm would be alternative methods for sustainable production of oil palm industry. This study could guide oil palm growers to identify suitable areas and expand oil palm only on those areas.
  • What are the environmental impacts of oil palm expansion in Southeast Asia?
  • Oil palm is also implicated in peatland draining and burning in Southeast Asia. Documented negative environmental impacts from such expansion include biodiversity declines, greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution.
  • How can we meet global palm oil demand sustainably?
  • To meet the rising global palm oil demand sustainably, we tracked annual land cover changes in oil palm plantation and mapped areas worldwide suitable for sustainable oil palm cultivation. From 1982 to 2019, 3.6 Mha of forests were converted to oil palm plantations.
  • How much oil does oil palm produce a year?
  • Oil palm crops globally produce an annual 81 million tonnes (Mt) of oil from about 19 million hectares (Mha). In contrast, the second and third largest vegetable oil crops, soybean and rapeseed, yield a combined 84 Mt oil but occupy over 163 Mha of increasingly scarce arable land. The oil palm crop system faces many challenges in the 2020s.
