!["Cocoa is often grown under conditions where [it is] not environmentally sustainable. So if you want to really look at long-term value, for the cocoa industry to survive, then we need to look at sustainability as a whole."
On this week’s episode of #PlantPeople, host Jennifer Bernstein, CEO and President of NYBG, sits down with Professor Pathmanathan Umaharan, Director of the Cocoa Research Centre at the University of the West Indies. Together they explore the ancient history of cacao tree cultivation, and how today, these crops face new threats in climate change and plant diseases, creating serious challenges for the future of this important and delicious food.
