Agroforestry and enhanced rock weathering: A dual strategy for sustainable cacao

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Cacao production is both economically vital and environmentally intensive, presenting a major sustainability challenge as a crop largely cultivated by smallholder farmers in climate‐vulnerable regions. This review synthesises evidence that integrating agroforestry with enhanced rock weathering (EW) may significantly reduce emissions from cacao ...
