From slash-and-burn to sowing sustainability.
Bolivia is one of the most biodiverse cocoa-growing lands in the world but for years, traditional “slash and burn” farming methods have threatened the rainforest and farmers’ long-term livelihoods.
We’re working with our partners at Sicirec to change that story, helping local farmers transition to regenerative agroforestry. It supports a healthier earth and healthier incomes for farmers.
