Our goals
Cacao Forest aims to create the sustainable cocoa of the future. Through agroforestry – growing cocoa trees alongside other types of tree – we hope to create innovative agricultural models that will increase the quality and productivity of the cocoa trees, improve farmers’ livelihoods and protect the environment.
To truly change the way cocoa is grown and to have a positive impact on farmers’ lives and the environment, we are working together with people all along the value chain, from producers and researchers, to NGOs, private companies and customers. Together we are innovating together for the sustainable cocoa cultivation of tomorrow.
The project’s key missions
To monitor how its work is progressing, the people in charge of the Cacao Forest project have set out five Key Missions
Each Mission is broken down into goals and performance indicators are used to assess whether these goals are being met.
Supporting and consolidating the REP
Improving agroforestry knowledge and skills
Valoriser la commercialisation des produits associés au cacao
Contribuer à une nouvelle vision de la culture du cacao
Communiquer les réalisations du projet
