This is my first solo episode since I’ve launched the podcast! Since discovering Tony’s Chocolonely, I have always wanted to learn more about the cocoa supply chain and actions we can do as consumers to minimise the negative environmental and social impacts of cocoa farming.

Here’s a summary of my short solo episode:

🍫An overview of why cocoa farming is unsustainable

🍫Why cocoa farming is linked to deforestation

🍫The exploitation of farmers and child labour in cocoa supply chains

🍫Key problems identified by the 2020 Cocoa Barometer

🍫How can consumers support more sustainable chocolate production?
