Choco4Peace

Starting in Colombia, Choco4Peace is focused on building peace by empowering smallholders, particularly women, youth and indigenous people willing to transition from the production of cocaine to the cultivation of specialty “fino de aroma” cacao. This is accomplished by using smart-contract Blockchain technology to create a network which aggregates cacao producers with stakeholders from the cacao industry, giving cacao entrepreneurs access to markets and fair prices, investment, capacity building, insurance, and technology. The transparency and traceability of this platform mitigates risk, mobilizes investments, and builds trust among members.
