  • Is palm oil sustainable?
  • While the long-term sustainability of palm oil production has attracted criticism due to deforestation and environmental impact, mitigating short-term environmental effects of the significant amount of waste produced is also important.
  • Can RSPO certification reduce environmental impacts of palm oil production?
  • The RSPO (Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil) certification standard provides an incentive for reducing environmental impacts of palm oil production but to date, only few producers have been certified and studies on environmental implications of RSPO certification in Thailand are scarce.
  • How to reduce environmental impact of palm oil production?
  • We identified 26 options to reduce environmental impact of palm oil production. Seven of these are effective and are paying options. Mulching EFB, cover crops and harvesting ripe fruits are most paying. Cover crops and harvesting ripe fruits are cost-effective for plantations.
  • Does palm oil trade affect ecosystem services?
  • The direct (socio-economic) and indirect (through ecosystem services) impacts of palm oil trade were reviewed using peer-reviewed literature and the Environmental Justice Atlas (EJA). Our results show that most of the 57 case studies were conducted in Indonesia and Malaysia where 85% of global production of palm oil occurs.
  • How to improve the environmental performance of palm oil in Thailand?
  • In Thailand there is another management tool for improving the environmental performance, called Thai Agricultural Standard for Good Agricultural Practice (GAP) for Oil Palm (ACFS, 2010). This standard is not widely implemented because it is not widely known by palm oil buyers and because there are few incentives for farmers to adopt this standard.
  • Can biodiesel reduce the environmental impact of palm oil production?
  • Many nations, including Thailand, promote the use of biodiesel to mitigate climate change. This results in a fast increase in palm oil production. We identified options to reduce the associated environmental impact, and assessed their cost-effectiveness.
