Worth the read.
Summary: palm oil is not in&of itself unsustainable. On the contrary, it's high-yielding & uses 1/9th the land of soybean oil.
The main culprit is expansionist ag practises & destruction of sensitive native environments.
❌️Don't boycott; choose sustainable-certified products instead❗️

Actually, organisations and experts concerned about the impacts of palm oil DON'T support a blanket boycott of palm oil.

There is a broadly accepted view amongst researchers and industry that forest conversion for palm oil contributes to species decline, including localised extinction of significant numbers of plants and animals.

"All consumers and users of palm oil can play a role, which will translate into demand for oils that meet NDPE / VDF standards. Supply-chain actors can play transformative roles by establishing such standards as de rigueur."
