Civil Society and Community

The palm oil industry has been negatively portrayed in various international media. For example, issues related to deforestation, GHG emission, and impacts on indigenous communities have been used by some quarters to stir unbalanced view against palm oil and palm oil related industries. In view of this, the objective of this research is to spearhead research programs on evidence-based information about the impacts of palm oil industry on the economy, society and the environment.
