====Food vs. fuel==== {{main|Food vs. fuel}} The use of palm oil in the production of biodiesel has led to concerns that the need for fuel is being placed ahead of the need for food, leading to [[malnutrition]] in developing nations. This is known as the food versus fuel debate. According to a 2008 report published in the ''[[Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews]]'', palm oil was determined to be a sustainable source of both food and biofuel, and the production of palm oil biodiesel does not pose a threat to edible palm oil supplies.<ref name="Man Kee Lam">{{Cite report|url=https://www.academia.edu/876673|title=Malaysian Palm oil: Surviving the food versus fuel dispute for a sustainable future|author=Man Kee Kam|author2=Kok Tat Tan|date=9 September 2008|author3=Keat Teong Lee|author4=Abdul Rahman Mohamed|access-date=26 February 2013|journal=Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews}}</ref> According to a 2009 study published in the ''Environmental Science and Policy'' journal, palm oil biodiesel might increase the demand for palm oil in the future, resulting in the expansion of palm oil production, and therefore an increased supply of food.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Corley|first1=R.
