Episode notes

Palm oil is a ubiquitous ingredient in many of the products we use every day, but its production comes at the expense of the environment and local communities. In this episode, we speak with Macquarie University PhD candidate Tom Collier who researches how synthetic biology can be used to produce sustainable palm oil that is both environmentally and socially responsible.
