Bolivia
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.

Meet Sicirec, our partner in change
Sicirec is one our key cacao partners and they’re driving Bolivia’s shift toward regenerative agriculture and agroforestry. It’s inspiring work.
For over 15 years, they’ve helped communities restore land, transition from monoculture to climate-smart systems, train farmers, diversify their incomes and improve market access. That’s the kind of cocoa farming we believe in.
