>> The study “No silver bullets”, carried out by Wageningen University and Research with Cocoa Life, Mondelez’s cocoa sustainability programme, presents insights to contribute to the discussion on Living Income for farmers. The authors estimate that a $10 billion US income gap currently exists for cocoa farmers and that while a living income should a key component of ongoing sustainability strategies, it should be part of broader interventions. The study concludes that to tackle farmer poverty a more holistic approach is needed and that this must include multiple stakeholders, including governments. A landscape-based approach is presented as one possible solution.

Op 5 mei 2021 organiseert Universiteit Hasselt in samenwerking met Oxfam-Wereldwinkel Hasselt een online debat over leefbaar inkomen in de cacaosector. Onze cacaospecialist Bart Van Besien gaat in gesprek met Minister Meryame Kitir, Manuel Kiewisch (Mondelez) en … Pauline Zei (Inades Formation Côte d’Ivoire).
Het debat wordt georganiseerd door het International Office van de Universiteit Hasselt en gaat door in het Engels en Frans, met simultane vertaling via Zoom. Vandaar dat ook de communicatie, die je hieronder vindt, in het Engels verloopt. Inschrijven doe je via dit formulier. Het Facebookevenement vind je hier.
As a university and as one of the signatories of the Beyond Chocolate charter, Hasselt University aims to stimulate the debate between different stakeholders in the cocoa industry.
On May 5th we bring them together in an online debate about an important part of the current discussion: “Living income for cocoa farmers?”.
Growing cocoa is an important income provider for many households in Africa and a living income is an important factor to build a sustainable livelihood.

Never have these parties sat around the (digital) table together in a public debate about the economy, inequality, injustice within the chocolate world we all know. Or, at least, we all think we know.
