As can be seen in the Cocoa Snapshot infographic, the challenges we face are not small: Farmers are living in poverty, a direct result of low cocoa yields on small, aging farms. Additionally, community infrastructure is lacking and only a small percentage of women are cocoa farmers and earn an income.

This is why we have created a movement for the entire industry to join us in scaling impact and creating a sustainable chocolate future, to address the massive challenges affecting farmers and their communities, and ensure that chocolate will be around, forever.
