There I saw the huge impact those plantations had on the Indonesian landscape and on its biodiversity as I passed endless straight lines of palm trees. After my return, I started to explore the subject. I had never realized the complexity of palm oil production. - Part of my research was via Google Earth. On the satellite images, one could very clearly see the plantations and the scale of production. Furthermore, the role of Dutch interventions interested me. The Dutch started to commercialize palm oil production once they had colonized Indonesia. Even now the Netherlands is still a major player in palm oil production. After China and India, they are the largest importer of palm oil. - As new/new copy
