Oil palm plantations through contract farming and a new Forest Amendment Law threaten India’s North-East forests

Land related struggles in India’s Northeast states might worsen with the push to expand oil palm plantations on small-farmers and Indigenous land, threatening their food sovereignty and the ancestral practice of Jhum (shifting cultivation).
