What needs to be done to stop the production of palm oil?
Stopping the production of palm oil may not be the answer, as palm oil and soy oil (oil produced from soy beans) can be directly substituted. Soy beans are a crop mainly grown on large plantation in South America (in respect of which there are equally similar and compelling environmental concerns). Substituting unsustainable palm oil with unsustainable soy oil is not the answer.
