Overall, 1.2 million hectares of forest have been lost there in last 5 years, mainly due to cattle ranching. It is vital not just to reduce deforestation in the area, but to reverse it. As cocoa is a native species of the Amazon and thrives in the shade of bananas, hardwoods and other trees, there is an opportunity to restore 130,000 hectares of degraded pastureland through cocoa agroforestry, where new cocoa farms are planted alongside other native fruits to restore lost vegetation. The benefits are not only environmental. Because Brazil is one of the world’s largest chocolate consumers, planting cocoa can also guarantee farmers a better income for them and their families. But many are being held back by a lack of technical assistance, market access and low rural credit a
