Question

for palm oil production to be certified sustainable by the nonprofit group roundtable on sustainable palm oil (rspo), certain guidelines must be followed. which statements accurately portray the rspo guidelines for palm oil production? controlling erosion and limiting water pollution are priorities. growers cannot clear old - growth forests. local communities are involved in land - use planning. workers rights are not a priority in the guidelines. the guidelines prohibit farmers from using pesticides. the guidelines have no provision for limiting the use of fire to clear forests.

Explanation:

The Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) focuses on sustainable practices. Controlling erosion and limiting water pollution contribute to environmental sustainability. Not clearing old - growth forests helps preserve biodiversity. Involving local communities in land - use planning promotes social sustainability. Workers' rights are important in sustainable practices, so the statement that they are not a priority is false. The text mentions a prohibition on pesticides. And sustainable guidelines would likely limit the use of fire to clear forests.

Answer:

Controlling erosion and limiting water pollution are priorities.
Growers cannot clear old growth forests.
Local communities are involved in land - use planning.
The guidelines prohibit farmers from using pesticides.
