World Cocoa Foundation holds sold-out Partnership Meeting
Topics included raising farmer incomes, reducing child and forced labor, reversing deforestation.
The World Cocoa Foundation hosted its sold-out Partnership Meeting Oct. 26-27 in Brussels, which yielded new commitments on making cocoa supply chains more sustainable and achieving more impact in helping farmers gain a living income.
The WCF closeed registration early because of unexpectedly large demand for the sustainability organization’s first in-person gathering in three years. The event brought together governments, cocoa-growing communities, civil society and companies focused on raising farmer incomes, reducing child and forced labor and reversing deforestation.
