The debate on sustainability is intoxicated by American and European lobbies that spread fake news in order to discriminate more efficient crops – like palm trees. Science proves these lobbies wrong. See our charts. 1. Why does the EU want to phase-out palm oil biofuel? They claim that palm oil biofuel is the devil and the […]
