Consider This: Malaysian Palm Oil (Part 1) — Impact of New EU Rules on Smallholders

On this episode of #ConsiderThis Melisa Idris speaks to Dr Serina Rahman, Lecturer at the Department of Southeast Asian Studies at National University of Singapore, where her research interests include political ecology through the lens of environmental anthropology and ethnography.
