The reading passage and the lecture are both about whether palm oil production benefit the environment and economy. While the author of the article argues that according to scientists, palm oil production has several benefits and should be developed, the lecturer refutes the claims mentioned in the article. Her position is that this approach has more negative effects than positive.
Firstly, the reading claims that due to the high oil yields of palm trees, less land is being used in palm oil production accordingly, less forest areas are being cleaned for their plantations. The professor casts doubt on this point by saying that since the palm oil is a desirable product in making food and cosmetics, the demand for it has grown in recent years. She states to keep up with this demand, farmers clear more areas. As a result, this high clearing of areas has increased the deforestation rate worldwide.
Secondly, the article posits that palm oil can be used in the production of biodiesels, and substitute the traditional fuels that caused higher carbon emissions. In contrast, the professor says that the process of clearing and preparing land for the growth of palm trees, requires burning of vegetations. Therefore, it not only do not help the climate, but also by producing hazardous gases while burning has a negative impact on the environment.
Finally, the article says that palm oil production contributes to the reduction of poverty by providing more profits over the production of other crops for small-scale farmers. The professor opposes this point by explaining that small-scale farmers can't control palm tree lands for long. According to her, because of the high profits palm trees production have, large-scale farmers obtain most of the land for themselves. Consequently, most of the small-scale farmers get very little in return.
