The Socio Political Dimension

Good Morning!! Today I wanted to explore the socio political dimension of the Palm Oil Industry. I had planned to post a nice summary of the interactions between the political leaders and local people of palm oil producing countries. However, this morning I was browsing the news and found this very recent and hugely applicable article. I feel seeing as it is a true example, it demonstrates the intertwined interests of both the politicians and people as well as the huge pressures that both groups are succumb to, surrounding establishing oil palm plantations, far better than a flat narrative post. 


To read the article will take less than 5 minutes but will give you a far better insight into the situation currently surrounding the Aceh Province, Indonesia.
