Ansätze für eine nachhaltige Palmölproduktion (external pagek4d)

Die afrikanische Ölpalme Elaeis guineensis ist eine hoch produktive Lieferantin von pflanzlichem Fett. Gleichzeitig steht sie für Vernichtung von Regenwald und Gewinnmaximierung multinationaler Konzerne. Auf dem Weg zu einer nachhaltigeren Palmölproduktion müssen unterschiedliche Anbau- und Absatzbedingungen und die Verknüpfung von Mensch und Umwelt mit dem Weltmarkt berücksichtigt werden. In Zusammenarbeit mit Bevölkerung, Politik und Wirtschaft erarbeiten Forschende differenzierte Lösungsansätze für einen nachhaltigen Palmölanbau.
