This episode, a show in two parts – and both of them are about palm oil plantations in Malaysia. First, with Manggalam, we explore the colonial legacy of migrant labor, when palm plantations were still rubber plantations and workers were indentured. And then, we hear from two NGOs who are tackling current problems in the industry in very different ways: one using a carrot and one using a stick.
