Palm Oil and Deforestation



Our group topic is looking into deforestation and the impact that it has on the planet. Whilst researching this topic we found a video that made us focus in our inquiry on the palm oil industry.





We will be trying to create a menu of palm oil free products to sell at the tuckshop while working with the nutrition group in our classroom to promote awearness on how this affects the species.

We want to go to Food Tech for our specialist for our (Deforestation) topic. We want to learn more about the Maori culture and language. We will have to do research about palm oil, alternative recipies at the library or internet.

These are the questions/statements we will be answering for our specialist.
  • Countries that export palm oil.
  • Conditions that people live in.
  • Why people export palm oil if it is so bad?
  • Is it really bad or are people concentrating on what is fashionable thing (topic) to get angry about.
  • Food Chain:  How important are animals, insects etc who live in the original jungle that is cut down and replaced by palm trees?
