Finally, Greenpeace got it right: palm oil is the most sustainable supply chain. Demonizing it would be socially and environmentally counterproductive: NO PALM OIL = NO SDGs. Finally, Greenpeace understood that there is a war against palm oil, a war in which they have a role too. Finally, Greenpeace might decide to switch to the right side. Finally, […]
With Christmas just around the corner, Greenpeace continues to deceive citizens with its fundraising campaign. After the recent sideshows in front of supermarkets, our heroes decided to chain themselves in front of Mondelez’s factories in northern Italy and protest again Wilmar using the catchphrase: “No to Palm Oil! that Kills Forests” We must be honest. […]
Greenpeace officially supports sustainable palm oil. They understood, just like WWF, that boycotting palm oil is dangerous. Matter of fact, replacing palm plantations with another crop would only lead to a greater impact on the environment – including orangutans – and more deforestation. This would not improve sustainability’s levels in any way, shape or form. As […]
Children First. This is why we promote the use of sustainable palm oil. New Iceland Foods’ #NoPalmoilChristmas campaign is cynically commercial. Announcing loudly the replacement of palm oil with (less sustainable) vegetable oils is an easy shortcut and populist way to capture new consumers and build customers’ loyalty when the quality of the products on […]
The palm oil’s boycott threatens the achievement of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Food and food trade companies that are using “free from palm oil” labels are responsible for this failure. Palm oil is the only supply chain that is making a relevant contribution toward the achievement of the United Nations’ SDGs. It is a value chain […]
We just celebrated the World Pasta Day, symbol of excellence of our country and no longer a product made in Italy. Beware, this is potentially not an issue. The Canadian wheat supply chain, for example, has been able to deliver an excellent product with high gluten content and low costs of production for years. The […]
A campaign against sugar has just begun. Before falling in love with it, let’s ask ourselves: who finances ‘anti-everything’ NGOs? But above all: what has science proven? NGOs should supposedly tell us what is wrong and what could be better. They should help us make the world a better place. But no. Blackmailing is the […]
A Turkish lesson to the European Union. Nowadays, Turkey gives us lessons on free market economy and consumers’ protection. With the introduction of new guidelines regulating the food sector, Ankara has decided to put an end to ‘free from’ labels due to their misleading and discriminatory nature. Over the years, we have rightfully criticized the […]
In the last years, Colombia, once only known for news related to the narcos, has undertaken concrete reforms to revive the country. One of the many Colombian success stories of the last decade is, undoubtedly, the palm oil industry. To date, Colombia is the largest palm oil producer in Latin America and the fourth in […]
Swiss citizens said no to an anti-science referendum on food sovereignty. It is the best news from last week. Finally, the fake food sovereignty, which seems every day more like a health freak bias, was rejected to the sender as well as the no-GMOs rhetoric. We hope that other countries, including Italy and all Europe, […]
