The document provides an overview of sustainable palm oil and issues related to its production. It discusses what sustainable palm oil is and the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) which establishes standards for sustainable palm oil production. It notes that some criticize RSPO certification as not doing enough to protect rainforests and accuse companies of "greenwashing". Alternatives views see backlash against palm oil as misguided. The document suggests ways to learn more about efforts to protect and restore threatened rainforests.
