Regionalization of Cacao (Theobroma cacao L.) in Colombia

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2022
A detailed description and up to date biogeographic regionalization of cultivated cacao (Theobroma cacao L.) are lacking in Colombia. Here we propose a new biogeographical regionalization of cultivated cacao for Colombia. We used spatial partitioning, geospatial mapping of macro/microclimate variables and a hierarchical area taxonomy classification to ...

Systematic Identification of Native Bacillus spp. as a Sustainable Approach to Mitigate Cadmium in Cocoa

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 1, January 2026.
Native Bacillus spp. isolated from cocoa fermentations demonstrate cadmium resistance and removal capabilities. Through a multidisciplinary approach combining genomics, metagenomics, electron microscopy and functional assays, we identified promising strains for sustainable cadmium bioremediation, offering a natural strategy to improve cocoa safety and ...

Perceptions and pathways: Linking biodiversity to health and well‐being in lower‐income contexts

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 1, Page 238-255, January 2026.
Abstract The biodiversity loss and human health crises are deeply interconnected, but existing frameworks linking the two are largely derived from high‐income contexts, limiting their applicability to much of the world. While these frameworks have been valuable, this gap is especially critical in rapidly urbanising low‐ and middle‐income regions, where
