Indonesia's oil palm smallholders get a boost in bid for sustainability
July 1, 2024 | Mongabay | Source |
A new set of guidelines has been introduced to assist smallholder oil palm farmers in Indonesia in ensuring their products are deforestation-free. This initiative aims to help farmers meet the increasing global demand for sustainably produced goods, particularly in markets with strict regulations like the European Union. The toolkit addresses concerns that smallholders, who are least able to comply with such regulations, will be the most affected. By following the six-step process, farmers can map their lands, identify high carbon stock and conservation value areas, and develop integrated conservation and land-use plans. This effort not only aims to facilitate market access but also supports Indonesia’s climate goals by promoting sustainable farming practices and forest conservation.
