Palm oil, a liquid produced by palm trees and used for cooking and other purposes, has become very popular in recent years. As a result, the palm oil industry has had a dramatic impact on the economies and landscapes of countries in which it operates. When asked to make a recommendation about whether expanding palm oil production even more would be good or bad for the environment and the economy, many experts have stated that palm oil production has several positive effects and should be expanded.
First, the experts point out that palm tree farming helps preserve the world’s forests. Palm trees have a very high oil yield – far higher than that of other crops. For this reason, farming palm trees requires less land than farming other crops to produce the same economic value. Since palm tree farms require relatively little land (compared with many other crops), palm tree plantations require the clearing of smaller areas of forest than many other crops would. In other words, palm tree farms cause less deforestation and therefore have a lesser negative impact on the environment than other types of crops.
Second, palm oil is sometimes used to produce biodiesel, a fuel for motor vehicles. Using biodiesel in vehicle engines create fewer carbon emissions than using traditional fossil fuels does. Carbon emissions are known to contribute to climate change. Biodiesel from palm oil, when used as an alternative to fossil fuels, can help reduce this effect.
Third, palm oil production helps reduce poverty among small-scale farmers. About 50 percent to 70 percent of land used for farming in palm-oil-producing countries is actually cleared by small-scale, low-income family farmers. Growing palm trees is usually more profitable for such farmers than growing other crops, and it has in many cases helped improve the farmers’ standard of living.
Based on the reading passage, palm oil which is a liquid product from palm trees for several purposes has become very popular in recent years. Therefore, keeping this in perspective palm oil industry has had a huge impact on the economies an several positive effects that should be expended. The professor in the lecture cast-doubt on those positive effects and suggesting three reasons concerning why they seems harmful.
The first point mentioned in the lecture is, palm tree farming helps preserve forest in all over the world. The lecture challenged this point as, the world demand for palm oil is increasing very fast. The reading does not take into consideration that, for keep up with this growing demand more land will need and this mean more forest and natural habitant should be destroyed in order to farming palm. Therefore, this whole point regarding, less deforestation is refuted by the lecturer.
Although it is suggested in the reading that, palm oil is used to produce biodiesel that is a fuel for vehicles and create fewer pollution. this point in refuted in the lecture as, increasing use biodiesel means more demand for palm trees and more deforestation. Another point is mentioned to question the validity of this claim is, clear a lot of lands from trees make more carbon dioxide and this is make more pollution, Hence, the fact that fewer pollution by more farming palm trees, cannot make sense.
The author in the reading passage asserts that, palm oil reduce poverty. this point is, further, called into question on the grounds that it could not make people more reach because it’s not more profitable than farming other crops. In fact, the reading fails to consider the fact that growing palm trees frame make a lot people in rival for selling their products. Thereby, the validity of this claim in the reading is also in question.
