Nestlé and ofi launch large-scale sustainable cocoa programme
The initiative is expected to cut 1.5 million tonnes of CO2 from their supply chains over the next 30 years.
Nestlé and ofi will train 25,000 cocoa farmers across Brazil, Côte d’Ivoire and Nigeria to convert their operations to agroforestry as part of a new regenerative agriculture programme.
The two food companies aim to plant over 2.8 million trees and cultivate more 72,000 hectares of cocoa through agroforestry practices – while cutting 1.5 million tonnes of CO2 from their supply chains over the next 30 years.
