Reshaping cocoa farming
With Cocoa Horizons, we tackle the tough spot farmers are in: they see their yields and their income diminish, making it hard to think about investing in their farms. We offer one-on-one coaching, plant material and soil boosters, plus extra hands when needed, all to help farmers turn things around and grow a brighter future. -
Empowering communities
We believe kids should be learning and playing, not working. Together with Cocoa Horizons we work to enable systemic and lasting change on child protection and human rights. We’re investing to empower local communities, especially women, to strengthen families from the inside out. -
Regenerating ecosystems
As our forests shrink, the natural umbrella that keeps our cocoa trees and soil safe is vanishing. Cocoa Horizons is on a mission to protect the forests, and strengthen the cocoa-growing ecosystems on existing farmland. Our agroforestry approach is all about growing cocoa with nature, not against it.
How can you support sustainable cocoa?
With every Callebaut Callet™ and block you purchased, we re-invest part of your purchase back in the farmer communities through the Cocoa Horizons Foundation.
