🌱 Can palm oil production align with sustainability goals? A new article explores how regenerative agriculture is being trialed in Indonesia and Malaysia, aiming to restore biodiversity without compromising productivity.

As Prof. Edgar Turner of the BEFTA programme explains, restoring river margins in plantations can be transformative: “You can restore them and potentially have quite a big impact.” Dive into the full article to learn how these practices could shape the future of the palm oil industry: https://loom.ly/um_SEwE #Sustainability #RegenerativeAgriculture #PalmOil #EnvironmentalImpact #ClimateResilience #Biodiversity #EcosystemRestoration
