Condizioni discrete

Our cocoa comes from Central and South America: the Dominican Republic, Panama, Ecuador and Peru. It is grown 100% under controlled organic conditions. One type of cocoa is also grown according to the strict biodynamic guidelines of Demeter. This philosophy understands farms as a fully holistic regenerative and self-sustaining cycle, in which humans, plants, animals and the soil all work together as a living farm organism. A particularly appreciative approach to nature and the soil, but also to the people working on the farm, is an integral part of the Demeter concept.

A differenza delle regioni del cacao dell'Africa occidentale, lo sfruttamento del lavoro minorile non è un problema significativo nei paesi dell'America Latina. I bambini di solito frequentano la scuola. Ciononostante, è importante prevenire questo problema attraverso un lavoro di prevenzione mirato e stroncare i possibili pericoli sul nascere. Lo abbiamo fatto per anni con il nostro progetto di prevenzione "KIDS for KIDS.

In addition, we are currently working with our partners in the Dominican Republic on a programme for particularly sustainable cocoa, whose cultivation criteria exceed the already high standards of the Organic certificate. This programme will initially benefit a group of around 150 cocoa-producing families and focus on the areas of (re)forestation of the farms, training in organic farming and access to drinking water. Of course, the project also includes the payment of additional premiums. The implementation is initially scheduled for four years and will be closely monitored by us.
