CASILIENT Project launches in Ghana
The CASILIENT project aims to enhance cocoa yields and improve the livelihoods of 5,000 cocoa farmers by pruning and planting agroforestry trees across 8,000 hectares of cocoa farms, and supporting farmers to diversify their farm activities and income.
Redefining Roles in Cocoa Farming
This year’s pruning season under the Nestlé Income Accelerator Program in Ghana is seeing something new: women stepping into roles traditionally held by men.
Losing the Plot: The Impact of Illegal Mining on Cocoa Communities
Illegal gold mining has destroyed landscapes and caused severe deforestation, now, with our help, things are taking a turn for the better.
Cultivating Sustainability
Payment for Ecosystem Services (PES) plays a vital role in supporting both farmers and companies in sustainable practices. Charles Mfoafo Tetteh, a cocoa farmer from the Ashanti Region in Ghana, is one of the beneficiaries.
Following the Honey
Bees are arguably the most vital creatures on the planet. They are responsible for pollinating the vast majority of the world’s crops, a process which is crucial for the reproduction of many plants, including those that provide us with food.
From Slash-and-Burn to Sustainable: How Biochar is Changing Cocoa Farming in Côte d’Ivoire
ETG | Beyond Beans is preparing to run pilot projects to test the applicability of biochar in live field sites. Our ultimate goal is to expand this project to circularise coffee projects in Uganda, cashew projects in Mozambique, and cocoa projects in Côte d’Ivoire, thereby reducing waste, providing carbon insetting, and minimising the environmental impact of the agricultural sector.
