• Unpacking Indonesia's independent oil palm smallholders : An actor-disaggregated approach to identifying environmental and social performance challenges (2017, background): “However, cooperatives and official farmer groups in Indonesia have, as in many other places, a chequered history due to political misuse, poor leadership, and internal conflict; with many farmers as a result expressing apprehension about formal organization (Brandi et al., 2015; Feintrenie et al., 2”
• Environmental, Economic, and Social Consequences of the Oil Palm Boom (2020, background): “During the 1980s and 1990s in particular, smallholder inclusion was promoted by the Indonesian government through the so-called “nucleus estate and smallholder” (NES) schemes (Euler et al. 2016b, Feintrenie et al. 2010).”
• Fire emissions and regional air quality impacts from fires in oil palm, timber, and logging concessions in Indonesia (2015, background): “In addition, the typical rotation period for some species of timber plantations can be as short as seven years (Effendy andHardono 2001) versus oil palm with a typical rotation of ∼25 years (Feintrenie et al 2010), which could increase fire activity if it is used between productive phases.”
• Oil palm expansion transforms tropical landscapes and livelihoods (2012, background): “Smallholder farmers can achieve incomes that enable them to improve their livelihoods significantly (Feintrenie et al., 2010a; Feintrenie et al., 2010b).”
• Systematic review of effects on biodiversity from oil palm production (2014, background): “In addition, biofuel production can create additional income for the rural poor and advance economic development (Feintrenie et al. 2010).”
• Oil Palm Boom and Land-Use Dynamics in Indonesia: The Role of Policies and Socioeconomic Factors (2015, background): “…companies and local communities (Curran et al., 2004; Fitzherbert et al., 2008; Koh and Wilcove, 2008; Rist et al., 2010; Wilcove and Koh, 2010; Feintrenie et al. 2010a; Koh et al., 2011; Wicke et al., 2011; Carlson et al., 2012; Margono et al., 2012; Obidzinski et al., 2013; Dewi et al.,…”
• Oil Palm Adoption, Household Welfare, and Nutrition Among Smallholder Farmers in Indonesia (2017, background): “2 First, oil palm may be more profitable per hectare than alternative crops that farmers grew before (Feintrenie et al., 2010; Rist et al., 2010).”
• The Impacts of Oil Palm on Recent Deforestation and Biodiversity Loss (2016, neutral): “For example, in Indonesia, village areas suitable for oil palm remained undeveloped because of low accessibility, a circumstance that changes with added infrastructure [48].”
• Certification, good agricultural practice and smallholder heterogeneity: Differentiated pathways for resolving compliance gaps in the Indonesian oil palm sector (2019, background): “In much of Indonesia, developing effective farmer groups and cooperatives is problematic due to lack of effective leadership and organizational capabilities and skepticism about the utility of formal organization (Feintrenie et al., 2010; Brandi et al., 2015).”
