Coming up in the next episode — Resolved: Tony’s Chocolonely is a Force for Good in the World. - Author: TheChocolateWire - Tags: Live Stream, The Wire Watch on [my LinkedIn profile](https://www.linkedin.com/posts/claygordon%5Fclimate-climatechange-regenerativeagriculture-activity-7081404337859538944-bjlu?utm%5Fsource=share&utm%5Fmedium=member%5Fdesktop) Watch on [TheChocolateLife page](https://www.facebook.com/TheChocolateLife/) on Facebook (live event) --- ### **Overview** In this episode we’re going to be exploring *cocoa and climate change*: Does cocoa contribute to the problem (and if it does, how), and how can cocoa be a part of solutions to climate change (if it can)? The discussion will include topics in planting design (e.g., agroforestry) and carbon credits in [the discussion over on LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/posts/claygordon%5Fthechocolatelifelive-activity-7080003535580377088-6ZiC?ref=thechocolatelife.com). So – I recommend everyone take a read of the thread as a part of getting ready for this live stream. And then we also need to consider the sustainable markets aspect of the issue – who’s going to pay for it and are any of the economic benefits going to inure to smallholder farmers? --- ### **Resources** [TheChocolateLife :: LIVE w/ Lars Saquero Møller, AgroclimaticaStreaming Live on Friday December 10th starting at 10am EST.![](https://thechocolatelife.com/content/images/size/w256h256/2020/12/JR_Pods60x60FavIconCutoutButtons.png)The Chocolate LifeTheChocolateWire![](https://thechocolatelife.com/content/images/2021/12/featuredImage.jpg)](https://thechocolatelife.com/thechocolatelife-live-w-lars-saquero-moller-ingemann-data/) One approach to assessing the issues and challenges, from Dec 2021!
