Farmer exploitation, deforestation, endangering animals and child exploitation all leave a lot to be desired in today's cocoa farming and chocolate industry. The more I looked into it, the more convinced I was that all of the chocolate brands I grew up with were ones that I had no interest in eating again.

Ndomon Albert, 21, a farmer working on a cocoa farm in the village of Essam, Molongo. Working together in cooperative units and practicing agroforestry to produce a diversity of crops, including cocoa, farmers can support themselves financially in the long term, while providing food for their families and local markets. Agroforestry relies on biodiversity and can restore fertility to fallow and degraded lands, creating a physical and financial buffer from degradation of the remaining forests and improving the soil's ability to nourish plants and produce food. Apart from the benefits of biodiversity and community financial support, agroforestry can be a sustainable solution against the industrial exploitation of the Congo basin forests, which concerned scientists and environmentalists claim will determine the future climate change. If left alone, the forest area is a vital collector of CO2 but if the forests are felled and the land is converted to industrial farming, as has been widely practiced for the past 30 years in south-east Asia, then the forest conversion emits vast quantities of CO2 and intensifies climate change. #cocoa #cocoafarming #farmer #climatechange #climatechangeisreal #everydayclimatechange #change #climateaction #globalwarming #deforestation #biodiversity @greenpeace
