The Swiss Platform for Sustainable Cocoa (SWISSCO) is a multi-stakeholder initiative that brings together actors from the cocoa and chocolate industry, the public sector, non-governmental organizations, and research institutions. The platform’s mission is to improve the livelihoods of cocoa farmers, promote biodiversity, and protect natural resources in cocoa-producing countries. Through partnership, transparency, and long-term commitment, SWISSCO aims to create a sustainable cocoa value chain that benefits both current and future generations.
SWISSCO collaborates with partners like Ecotop to promote sustainable agricultural practices, including Dynamic Agroforestry (DAF), which enhances soil health, increases biodiversity, and improves cocoa productivity. By supporting innovative farming methods and knowledge sharing, this partnership empowers farmers to build resilient agricultural systems that are both economically viable and environmentally responsible.
