Q&A: Rainforest Action Network’s Lindsey Allen on palm oil, human rights and more
Lindsey Allen:
"More shoppers than ever understand the interconnections between issues like climate change and deforestation. We get a lot of traction with human and indigenous rights violations, like poor working conditions, and making sure that people are being compensated and treated fairly as they produce commodities like sugar, rice, coffee and cocoa.
Responsibly sourced palm oil in particular is resonating with consumers who appreciate the value of rainforests."
