- Does oil palm deforestation affect sustainable diets in Myanmar?
- This study confirms that recent oil palm develop-ment in Myanmar is concurrent with extensive deforestation and frames this within the context of sustainable diets. These results may have im-portant implications for the future of sustainable diets in Myanmar.
- Can a sustainable chain management practice be implemented in complex palm oil agro-industry enterprises?
- This research endeavors to contribute to the implementation of sustainable chain management practices within the context of complex palm oil agro-industry enterprises. Specifically, the study aims to design a comprehensive framework to enhance the sustainability of the palm oil agro-industry.
- How to select relevant articles on sustainability of palm oil production?
- A systematic literature review approach is used to select relevant articles on the sustainability of palm oil production. The study follows the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) framework to identify relevant articles, which are then analysed using both qualitative and quantitative methods.
- How to determine sustainability of supply chain management of palm oil agro-industry?
- The sustainability of supply chain management of the palm oil agro-industry is determined through the Multidimensional Scaling (MDS) method based on Microsoft Excel with Add-ins Rapfish 1.6. This study uses the triple bottom line concept to analyze sustainability, namely economic, social and environmental dimensions.
- How to improve the sustainability index value of palm oil agro-industry?
- The design of policy recommendations to improve the performance of the sustainability index value is obtained through a leverage analysis of each dimension. The implementation of leverage analysis is used to determine sensitive attributes that can affect the index value and sustainability status of each dimension of the palm oil agro-industry.
- Does palm oil production increase health risks in Myanmar?
- Increased palm oil production in Myanmar may be concomitant with increased consumption in low-income communities and associated increases in health risks. Next, the 2010 Landsat imagery revealed a continuation and acceleration of the previous trends (Figure 3).
