Minnetonka-based agribusiness giant Cargill is taking heat from environmental and human rights activists who say the company’s palm oil enterprise is violating laws in places like Indonesia and Borneo. A Rainforest Action Network report finds that the company has cleared and burned rainforests without permits, leaving a wake of destruction. Cargill outright denies the report’s findings.
