Partnership for deforestation-free Cocoa Supply Chains

Cocoa farming supports millions worldwide but is fraught with deforestation risks and threatened by climate change. This project in Ghana aims to transform these scenarios through innovative regenerative agriculture, including dynamic agroforestry and regenerative cocoa production. These practices align with the new EU regulations for deforestation-free cocoa production and promote gender and youth inclusion. By providing smallholder farmers with the knowledge and tools to adopt sustainable farming methods, the project aims to secure their access to international markets and ensure the long-term viability of their livelihoods. The project approach integrates capacity building for compliance with environmental and social standards, aiming for sustainable, equitable cocoa supply chains. Through local and international partnerships, the project aims to create a model of production that respects the planet and its people, setting a precedent for deforestation-free agriculture globally.
