About this listen

 What are the practical steps to improve biodiversity on oil palm plantations? What does the life of a palm oil smallholder really look like? What do palm oil smallholders in Indonesia think about EUDR and certification? Today on the podcast, we’re joined by Thijs Pasmans, a sustainability consultant who focuses on tropical commodities like palm oil and cocoa. We talk with Thijs about palm oil, biodiversity and smallholders - and in particular, some of his recent reports and fieldwork out in Indonesia. Other topics covered include the value of RSPO credits, smallholder inclusion, EUDR and the future of sustainable palm oil.
