Natural Habitats works closely with Ecuadorian farming communities to develop their capacity to apply organic and sustainable agricultural practices to palm production and adhere to progressive environmental and social standards. Natural Habitats has worked hard to grow the market for organic palm oil, establishing direct connection between oil palm farmers and manufacturers, operating its integrated supply chain.
The Palm Done right initiative is firmly at the forefront, leading the sustainable and organic palm industry for the past ten years.
As a conscious manufacturer or retailer who cares about working with nature and collaborating with farming communities, it’s important to reconsider the type of palm oil you use in your products. And as a consumer, it’s up to you to question the ways in which the ingredients in your food are produced and processed. Are you ready to change the conversation around palm oil and create lasting change in a large and commoditized industry? Palm Done Right isn’t just a philosophy - it’s a way of doing business. We invite you to join our mission to make palm oil a force for good by empowering farmers and protecting the Earth for future generations.
There is another side to palm oil that we don’t hear about or see too often in the media. When in reality this misunderstood crop comes with many positives. Not only is it the most efficient vegetable oil crop around the globe, it improves product quality and shelf life, and helps millions of farmers and workers generate a steady income. As the media continues to spread the message of deforestation and exploitation, we prefer to focus our attention on transforming the palm oil industry from within. We do this by converting conventional oil palm growers to using organic, sustainable, and ethical oil palm farming practices. We have worked hard to provide an alternative perspective on palm oil, and change the conversation from degeneration to regeneration. Palm Done Right is possible. This has been our belief since we founded Natural Habitats in 2009. Since starting our organic palm oil journey, we have shown that palm oil can create many benefits for farmers and the planet. This impact report illustrates how organic, sustainable, and ethical palm oil protects the environment and builds healthy communities.
