“Oil Palm: Beyond Controversies” - Public Panel Discussion

The OPAL Team organized a public event on debunking myths about palm oil at ETH Zurich. Around 220 people packed the lecture hall. The panel comprised experts in particular aspects of oil palm production and supply chain management. These included Rob McWilliam from The Forest Trust (tft), Putra Agung (WWF Indonesia), Kathrin Rutishauser (MIGROS) and Patrice Levang (IRD).

Each panellist presented a short discussion on their field of experience, ranging from production, to supply chain management, to sourcing policy and certification. A range of interesting questions were received from the public, confirming the considerable public interest in this topic.
