  • Will Iceland replace palm oil with European-grown alternative oils?
  • Greenpeace does agree that Iceland's position to replace palm oil with European-grown alternative oils won’t be a huge change as it’s a fairly small supermarket chain – the smallest major supermarket in the UK. “They tell us their products contain 500-1,000 tonnes of palm oil a year,” says Richard George of Greenpeace.
  • Should palm oil be banned in Iceland?
  • The problem is, there's no other product that yields the same amount of oil using the same level of resources. Iceland's move to ban palm oil products is potentially dangerous, argues Bicknell, because boycotting it may put pressure on other crops that are just as responsible for the world's environmental problems, if not more so.
  • Could Greenpeace AD be made by Iceland?
  • The ad was not originally made by Iceland, but several months ago by environmental campaign group Greenpeace. Teaming up with Iceland, however, would potentially push the ad on TV and get as many eyeballs as possible.

  • Why is the demand for palm oil increasing?
  • Internationally, the demand for palm oil is increasing. “In the bigger context, you have emerging markets like China and India that are importing a lot of soy and palm oil,” says Dominic Waughray, the head of the World Economic Forum Centre for Global Public Goods.
  • How much of the world's tropical deforestation comes from palm oil?
  • The World Resources Institute estimates that four commodities drive about half of the world’s tropical deforestation: palm oil, beef, soy, and paper and pulp. The other half is due to things like timber production and illegal land use. Palm oil itself is only a fairly small element of that.
  • Why was the Iceland AD blocked?
  • The ad simply contravened very well-known rules. “I would imagine Iceland would have expected that the ad would not be authorised for television advertising,” says Jake Bicknell from the School of Anthropology and Conservation at the University of Kent. Indeed - the ad was blocked.
