Palm oil, a liquid produced by palm trees and used for cooking and other purposes, has become very popular in recent years. As a result, the palm oil industry has had a dramatic impact on the economies and landscapes of countries in which it operates. When asked to make a recommendation about whether expanding palm oil production even more would be good or bad for the environment and the economy, many experts have stated that palm oil production has several positive effects and should be expanded.
First, the experts point out that palm tree farming helps preserve the world’s forests. Palm trees have a very high oil yield – far higher than that of other crops. For this reason, farming palm trees requires less land than farming other crops to produce the same economic value. Since palm tree farms require relatively little land (compared with many other crops), palm tree plantations require the clearing of smaller areas of forest than many other crops would. In other words, palm tree farms cause less deforestation and therefore have a lesser negative impact on the environment than other types of crops.
Second, palm oil is sometimes used to produce biodiesel, a fuel for motor vehicles. Using biodiesel in vehicle engines create fewer carbon emissions than using traditional fossil fuels does. Carbon emissions are known to contribute to climate change. Biodiesel from palm oil, when used as an alternative to fossil fuels, can help reduce this effect.
Third, palm oil production helps reduce poverty among small-scale farmers. About 50 percent to 70 percent of land used for farming in palm-oil-producing countries is actually cleared by small-scale, low-income family farmers. Growing palm trees is usually more profitable for such farmers than growing other crops, and it has in many cases helped improve the farmers’ standard of living.
The passage provides some information regarding palm oil one of which is its radical effect on industry and landscape of countries. However, the writer states several reasons to support the expansion of Palm oil production the speaker finds its side effects outweigh them and refutes them.
First and foremost, the article mentions that Palm oil farming leads to preserving forests in the long term since it requires less land to be deforested. The professor, on the other hand, points out that palm oil usage is increasing dramatically not only in food but in cosmetic production. Consequently, to keep up with the large demand for palm oil more forests need to be cut out to provide more land for planting palm trees.
Secondly, the reading claims that palm oil is used to produce biodiesel for vehicle engines that ends up in emitting less CO2, hence less air pollution. Conversely, the lecture contents that the process of producing biodiesel from Palm oil involves rising CO2 emission because when land is cleared of plants they are going to be burnt which conveys producing CO2.
Last but not least, the writer asserts that palm oil production contributes to a reduction in poverty owing to the fact that 50% - 70% of fields are cleared out by local low-income families. Whereas, the speaker sheds light on the factual point that low-income families do not control the fields for a long time, and after a while the the big companies obtain the palm farms and the profit mostly goes in their pocket.
