Cocoa farmers and their communities face several complex challenges, including:

Productivity: limited knowledge of farming techniques, limited access to planting materials, pests and disease

Environmental: climate change, deforestation, aging trees, unfertile soil

Social: lack of access to quality education, risk of child labor, gender inequality, fewer leadership roles for women

Financial: risk of poverty, lack of access to finance

ST Cocoa Life and Forest Initiative Progress Report works with partners to help address those challenges by helping to lift the people and protect the landscapes where cocoa grows
