New research @IOPenvironment on the deforestation hidden in the Côte d’Ivoire #cocoa supply chain, source of 40% of the world’s 🍫.
Four key take-aways. 🧵

Four key take-aways. 🧵
1.Cocoa is a major driver of deforestation. Building on a new high-resolution, high-accuracy cocoa map, we identify 2.5 Mha of cocoa deforestation and degradation from 2000-2019, making cocoa responsible for 46% of the total deforestation and forest degradation in the country.
“Cocoa deforestation” being the loss of undisturbed tropical moist forest to cocoa & “cocoa degradation” where cocoa overlapped areas which underwent a change from undisturbed -> degraded forest. (Cocoa is a tree crop, blurring the traditional notions of 'deforestation'...)
#ChocolateProduction thread!
1/ #Chocolate is a beloved treat enjoyed by people around the world, but did you know that a few countries dominate global chocolate production?

2/ The top chocolate producing countries are the Ivory Coast, #Ghana, #Indonesia, and #Brazil. Together, these countries account for over 60% of the world's chocolate production. #ivorycoast
3/ The Ivory Coast is the largest chocolate producer in the world, with over 1.5 million tons produced annually. Ghana is a close second, producing around 1 million tons per year.
1 day does not make a trend, but is this the start of the big one in Cocoa? The 🐿️has been 'cocoa curious' for a while and we have a hunch that we will be paying a lot more for our chocolate in years to come. We got back in on yesterday's break-out. $CC_F $NIB $CC #Cocoa 1/5
Cocoa is a fascinating market. Grown in very specific geographies where the wrong weather can be a big deal and where (until now?) the main growers have been getting a raw deal + RU/UK disruption to grain markets forces cash crop growers to pivot to subsistence crops.

Several top folk have been doing great work on Cocoa: With impeccable timing @pineconemacro's Chase produced a brilliant "Emerald" primer on the market about a month ago. Chase down a copy (see what I did there 😉); 3/5
Here's a long thread with evidence about why the @RSPOtweets has failed to make any difference with key sustainability promises incl. stopping #deforestation #indigenous #landgrabbing #ecocide #slavery #humanrights abuses for supermarket brands. 1/7 palmoildetectives.com/2021/08/23/why…

"Farmers farm for the love of farming. They love to watch and nurture the growth of plants. They love to live in the presence of animals. They love to work outdoors. They love the weather, maybe even when it is making them miserable." - Wendell Berry

Currently watching a superb webinar from @StandMighty presenting a host of cutting-edge work on #cocoa supply chains, including an update to their accountability map. A live-thread with some of the insights...

@VividEconomics presented a huge effort to map land uses in Côte d'Ivoire - which lost 2% of its forest cover IN ONE YEAR
Their data show staggering rates of forest loss for #cocoa in some regions, e.g. Bloléquin

#Trade is a key contributor to global #food security - @SEIclimate’s @KevinM_Adams argues that #climatechange can strain trading relationships and raise new questions for how we govern risk and cooperate in a warming world.

1⃣ In #Uttarakhand, increasingly warmer winters are making #Rhododendrons bloom earlier than usual; during February-March instead of its usual schedule of March-May.

The season is not the best time for #Rhododendrons, because late winter rains in February-March wash away the blooms, affecting local population dependent on making juice, jams and jellies from the flowers.
