  5. Issues facing cocoa communities Farming Low yields due to aging trees, poor farming practices and lack of access to inputs. Community Many cocoa communities lack basic infrastructure making them unattractive places to live. Limited access to education and health services. Challenges around gender equality and women’s empowerment. Livelihoods The limited cocoa season and poor returns means that poverty and food insecurity are real challenges for the many small-holders which make up cocoa farming communities. Youth Cocoa is struggling to attract young people from farming communities resulting in an aging and declining workforce. Child labour continues to be a problem in cocoa communities. Environment Cocoa farming is conducted in a very narrow geographic area, vulnerable to the challenge of climate change.

  12. Outcomes define thriving communities Farming We believe cocoa farmers deserve to earn an income that lifts them out of poverty so we help farmers improve their yields and livelihoods Community We believe in empowering cocoa farming families to create the kind of communities they and their children want to live in. We believe gender equality benefits everyone and work to improve women’s empowerment. Livelihoods We believe providing business knowledge and skills will create farming entrepreneurs and support farmers to increase incomes from other sources. Youth We are working towards eliminating child labor by helping communities tackle its root causes. We believe cocoa farming should be an attractive business for the next generation, so we work to inspire young people about a future in cocoa farming. Environment We believe in protecting the landscapes in which cocoa is grown to maintain eco-systems and provide viable environments and farming land for future generations
