You’ve probably heard a lot about the changes that need to happen to improve conditions in the chocolate supply chain from civil society, governments, and companies themselves. But often the most important voices are the hardest to hear. To make sure we are calling for the right changes, we need to understand what farming communities really need to overcome the challenges they face. Read about the solutions they are calling for now. Remember you can also donate to support our work campaigning for justice in the cocoa sector. |
