Re "Looking at Oil Palm's Genome for Keys to Productivity" (news article, nytimes.com, July 24):
As conservation biologists suggest, the solution to the palm oil problem indeed lies beyond its DNA.
The environmental devastation caused by the oil palm tree industry illustrates the need for new policies and practices that better respect the complex and delicate interconnections among our food, water and energy systems and how those systems interact with the natural world.
A new special report from the Wharton Initiative for Global Environmental Leadership states clearly that meeting the demands for global resources "will require thinking in terms of systems, not silos." The report says, "It will take collaborative approaches that embrace rather than battle natural processes."
Unsustainable palm oil biofuel production in Southeast Asia is a prime example of policies and practices that embrace silo thinking and are at war with nature.
