  • Who owns oil palm plantations in Africa?
  • isappeared. Today, the expansion of industrial oil palm plantations in Africa is dominated by a handful of large, multinational comp nies. Just five companies control about three-quarters of the planted, industrial oil palm plantation area on the continent (see Table 1).
  • Are oil palm plantations sustainable?
  • Therefore, measuring the environmental impact of oil palm plantations and identifying suitable land to support its sustainable development is crucial. 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.
  • How do oil palm plantations affect the environment?
  • Oil palm plantations have been associated with multiple negative impacts, including deforestation, habitat and biodiversity loss (Teoh, 2010), forest fragmentation, disruption of food chains, air and water pollution, soil erosion (Szulczyk and Khan, 2018), and hydrological changes due to alteration in precipitation (Obidzinski et al., 2012).
  • Can community resistance slow the expansion of industrial oil palm plantations?
  • ctares. And only a small fraction of this area, 220,608 hectares, has been converted to oil palm plantations or replanted with new palms. We believe that strong resistance by communities has been key to slowing this expansion of industrial oil palm plan-tations in the region.Communities
