At Sawyer Camp Farmers Common Initiative Group (SCF-CIG), we're constantly striving for a more sustainable future. Our Sustainable Palm Oil Production project is a core part of our mission, where we expand our palm oil production capacity while staying true to our values of sustainability and community empowerment.

Why Sustainable Palm Oil?

Palm oil is a valuable crop, but traditional production methods can have negative environmental and social impacts. We believe responsible palm oil production is not only achievable, but essential. That's why the heart of our expansion project revolves around these core principles.

Sustainability in Action

Here's how SCF-CIG is ensuring our palm oil production is truly sustainable:

• Zero-deforestation expansion: We actively plant new palm groves only on degraded land, protecting vital rainforests and their rich biodiversity.
• High-yield, low-impact practices: We've adopted innovative techniques like intercropping and precision agriculture to maximize yields while minimizing our environmental footprint.
• Soil health focus: Our farmers are implementing practices like composting and cover cropping to maintain healthy soil and reduce reliance on chemical fertilizers.
• Water conservation: We're utilizing efficient irrigation systems and water management techniques to minimize water usage.
• Waste reduction: We're exploring ways to utilize palm waste products, such as empty fruit bunches, for biofuel or compost.
