This multidisciplinary project takes a broader approach going beyond existing standalone case studies to examine palm oil negotiations and policies from the perspective of small producers in Indonesia, and policymakers and NGOs in the EU and Indonesia.
What kinds of views do different stakeholders have on palm oil, and how are the views negotiated and narrated? How do the arguments and narratives reflect the stakeholders' values, the "good and bad" and the ethics of palm oil cultivation and use? Who influences whom and what power relations can we discern in the multi-level palm oil negotiations and debates? How can disputes be resolved to ensure food security and find a solution in line with the 2030 Agenda?
The project is funded by KONE Foundation for the period of 2023 to 2027.
