Vulnerability to climate change of cocoa in West Africa: patterns, opportunities and limits to adaptation by Schroth, Götz, Läderach, Peter R.D., Martínez Valle, Armando Isaac, Bunn, Christian, Jassogne, Laurence T.P.

“…We conclude that adaptation strategies for cocoa in West Africa need to focus at several levels, from the consideration of tolerance to high temperatures in cocoa breeding programs, the promotion of shade trees in cocoa farms, to policies incentivizing the intensification of cocoa production on existing farms where future climate conditions permit and the establishment of new farms in already deforested areas.…”
