Cocoa Agroforestry in a Warming World: A Critical Synthesis of Shade Design, Carbon, Biodiversity, Yield and Climate Resilience
Cocoa production is increasingly exposed to heat, rainfall variability and severe drought, while the ecological simplification of many cocoa landscapes has reduced the biological and structural buffers that can moderate climatic stress. Cocoa agroforestry is therefore promoted as a strategy that can simultaneously supp...
