Fed Up
The cocoa industry For many of us chocolate is pure pleasure, a little bit of heaven that you eat. However, the real story of chocolate is a supply chain where our affordable luxury is paid for in misery and exploitation. The earnings model of chocolate companies is farmer poverty, this is the way it has been for decades and will continue to be unless the correct laws are put in place. As long as the farmer is paying the price of cheap chocolate, there’s no way it can be sustainable. The poverty for these poor farmers is so dire it could be considered modern slavery.
