The conventional model developed on a large scale and based on monocultures causes deforestation, soil erosion and loss of biodiversity of fauna and flora in the medium term, in addition to the fact that this model causes instability and labor exploitation, increasing inequality and poverty among communities in the sector.
Organizations related to environmental protection and fair trade have joined forces to create more efficient local productive development models, promoting ecological measures that include biodiversity conservation and sustainability, which provides economic stability to all those involved in the productive process and the value chain.
The objective of all these measures is the link between biodiversity conservation and cocoa crops. All this joint effort makes it possible to care for the environment, produce sustainable cocoa in the long term with abundant and fruitful harvests that provide income for families, as well as the internalization of environmental care habits.
