Debate: Living Income for Fair Chocolate?

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.
