About the Hub
Cocoa growers face many challenges which impact the sustainability of the crop. These include a changing and more variable climate and soil degradation. This hub provides a portal to access information on research outcomes geared towards more climate-resilient cocoa and is geared towards researchers, practitioners, extension agents, as well as the cocoa sector more widely. The information includes practical guides, videos, weblinks and recorded webinars.
How to access resources
Search for resources using either the text search or key words tabs. A direct link is then provided to the resource(s) in question (click on the 'website', 'DOI' or 'Youtube' tab as appropriate). Clicking on the 'Details' tab provides more information on the host organisation(s) and project(s) associated with the resource in questions. By highlighting these, the user can then access further resources associated with the organisation(s) and/or project(s) presented.
