Regenerative cacao is defined as cacao (also known as "cocoa") that is produced on a farm that employs regenerative agriculture and agroforestry methods. It is most closely associated with the Ecuadorian chocolate company To’ak, the organic food supplier Navitas, the rainforest conservation organization TMA (Third Millennium Alliance), and the social-agricultural enterprise Terra Genesis.[1][2] Cacao is the raw material that is used to produce chocolate.
Regenerative cacao is characterized by biodiverse agroforestry plantations in which cacao trees are grown in the shade of other trees, mimicking a natural forest ecosystem. This form of cultivation is used as a method to restore the forest canopy on abandoned cattle pasture and other areas of deforested agricultural land.[3] It is generally regarded[by whom?] as a “win-win” strategy of sustainable land management, in which farmers can generate food and revenue while regenerating the forest.[4]
The regenerative cacao movement is a reaction against monoculture cacao plantations, which are often a cause of deforestation in the tropics[citation needed].
