The hidden cost of conventional chocolate

Most chocolate on store shelves—especially the cheap, mass-produced kind—is rooted in practices that harm:

  • Soil and ecosystems (monocultures, pesticides)

  • Oceans (plastic packaging)

  • Workers (unfair wages, unsafe conditions)

  • Culture (loss of ancestral farming knowledge)

Low prices often hide a high cost.

What responsible chocolate looks like

  • Grow cacao under forest canopy, preserving ecosystems
