New laws could help prevent UK consumers from buying food grown on rainforest land that has been illegally logged. The change will be included in a new Environment Bill that MPs will discuss. The aim is to stop British consumers playing an inadvertent role in an environmental crime through the goods in their supermarket basket. The key commodities most grown on land that is illegally cleared are cocoa, soya, palm oil, beef and leather, rubber, timber, and pulp and paper.
