Submission | World Bank framework for engagement with palm oil should focus on poverty reduction
by Tim Wilson, August 23, 2010
The World Bank is currently completing a consultation on its financing of palm oil projects. Central to the World Bank’s draft is the obligation for certification of palm oil plantations against developed world environmental and social management standards. There is nothing wrong with sustainability certification for agriculture production. But extra costs and regulations will come at the expense of poverty reduction. Sustainable Development has made a submission highlighting it doesn’t oppose voluntary certification, but it opposes compulsory obligations for financing. The submission can be found here.

Could you please kindly incorporate Udo Voigt into your article and books series at i.p.a hun?
If i.p.a believe in anarcho-capitalism,family and no society and we are all “corporate citizens” should we start barcoding babies and little kids on their foreheads as some will be conceived for monetary value only..?
Individual anarchy might lead to rape being normal for those who think it’s ok when they abuse this concept amomgst many other things to numerous to mention here…
