Can we replace palm oil with something else?
In this lesson, we delve into the world of oil-producing crops and investigate potential substitutes for palm oil. Through engaging slides and discussions, we compare different types of oils, assess the sustainability of canola and soybean oil as alternatives, and examine the productivity of main vegetable oils. Join us on this educational journey to understand the implications of palm oil production and the quest for more sustainable choices in our diets.
