I'm not sure if www.palmoiltruthfoundation has mentioned this issue, but it may have. I came across lots of facts on palm oil there. Perhaps Malaysia isn't a contributor to this crisis.
I went through the net to research on feeding the world crisis and found out about palm.

Try going to http://www.mpoc.org.my or even http://www.palmoiltruthfoundation. There's also this blog at http://golden-crop.blogspot.com but I think this guy just copy and paste from other resources.
