Collaboration in Building a Sustainable Palm-oil Production - Community Voices
Channel: r4d programme
Date: 2020-07-01

Palm oil poses a classical dilemma: It provides significant earnings for countries, corporations and smallholders, but often at great environmental and social cost. Oil palm cultivation is a principal driver of land-use change, deforestation and biodiversity loss in the tropics. Recent research supports joint efforts for finding options for a sustainable future.

This video-clip was produced as part of the r4d programme’s Digital Storytellers synthesis project. Its contents were filmed and selected by Damien Marie Essono, University of Yaoundé, Cameroon, and Thomas Guillaume, ETH Zurich, Switzerland, in collaboration with local partners in Cameroon. The digital storytelling process was accompanied and supported by Paitití Lab.
