How to Identify Degraded Land for Sustainable Palm Oil in Indonesia
The document presents a methodology for identifying potentially suitable degraded land for sustainable palm oil in Indonesia, specifically applied in West and Central Kalimantan. The approach uses a two-step process: a desktop analysis based on environmental, economic, social, and legal indicators, followed by rapid field assessments. This method is designed to align with RSPO standards, Indonesian law, and national REDD+ strategies. In a pilot application in West Kalimantan under Project POTICO, the method helped identify nine potentially suitable areas. Across West and Central Kalimantan, the initial desktop analysis identified approximately seven million hectares of potentially suitable land.
