Chocolate is a fast-growing business worth more than $90 billion a year. Each person eats an average of nine kilograms of millions of things every year. My beautiful chocolate, what an impact our love for this sweet delight has on the environment. The suspense is terrifying, people have been consuming chocolate since at least 450 BC, when it was usually fermented into a fake drink in the 16th century and chocolate arrived in Europe where people started adding sugar.

Cocoa, Soy, and Palm oil:

Today's chocolate varieties are mind-boggling with ingredients from around the world, but making this sweet treat often relies on three key ingredients: cocoa, which is used to make cocoa, soy, and palm oil. All are among the main drivers of tropical deforestation.

It is difficult to trace the trail of these three components in what are known as direct supply chain companies that can draw a clear line from farmers to farmers to their product line. Although it can be difficult at times, large amounts of these ingredients are consumed indirectly, through a network of middlemen and traders. Back to the farmers, it is even more ambiguous that the lack of transparency and traceability increases the risk of hidden deforestation.

It is now cultivated worldwide in tropical regions, where an estimated 70 percent of the world's supply is cultivated to feed the world's sweet tooth, leading to many countries. Environmental damage is faced. Decades of deforestation in both countries have been partly linked to the expansion of cocoa plantations.It has less than 10 percent of the country's forests remaining.The majority of cocoa is harvested indirectly.

It is grown by many smallholder farms. A complex set of factors, including poverty, low prices, low yields, and poor monitoring, forces these farmers to clear more forests to maintain their livelihoods, forcing them to produce more cocoa that uses pesticides and other chemicals.

So how can we ensure this? means restoration of natural forests.

The aim of the effort is to help even a little, by providing Small scale farmers with tools to Increase their production or investment  that gives them the livelihood, alternative to growing oil palm and to do Produce palm oil.

Leading to heavy reliance on chemicals. resulting in pollution and threats to wildlife. Cocoa plantation expansion has directly impacted protected areas reducing habitat for endangered species such as the country's dwindling forest elephant population.

Conservation of deforestation:

Cocoa from protected areas often makes its way into global supply chains undetected, as 20 percent of the country's cocoa comes from protected areas. Experts have warned that climate change could lead to crop losses,as a result of the rapid expansion of plantations in the forested areas  to supply with cocoa. Deforestation will turn into new hotspots. Soy lecithin in chocolate is a byproduct left over from soybean processing.

Yet deforestation continues and the wildlife-threatening production of all these ingredients is also linked to social justice issues such as child and labor rights, forced labor, and conflict with local communities. As we have seen, growing chocolate is a major component of deforestation, but the chocolate supply chain, shipping, manufacturing, and packaging also have environmental impacts, and even the consumption of chocolate is linked to many other impacts.

So how can chocolate lovers help get rid of that bitter environmental aftertaste by voting with their wallets to buy sustainable and fair trade chocolate? Many of the world's largest chocolate companies and manufacturers are listening to consumers and have made zero-deforestation commitments, and often this only extends directly to the supply chain, making deforestation much more likely.It is a serious matter how to control it and get the best results, and untraceable indirect supply chains.Technological solutions such as satellite monitoring can identify and track deforestation. And when it comes to cocoa agroforestry, areas at risk are identified as solutions to help move away from monoculture crops with less pesticide use. This increased productivity and benefited farmers by increasing the livelihoods of smallholders and encouraging farmers to diversify crops to reduce the need to continually expand their farms into forests. However, these solutions are widely needed because we eat so much chocolate even if the future of chocolate is sweet.

As a result:

Medical studies show that eating chocolate in moderation can prolong your life by fighting bad cholesterol and reducing the risk of blood clots.
