Tackling deforestation and innovating in agronomy
and modern sustainable farming practices that, beyond
reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from land use,
are focusing on regenerating and improving soil health,
as well as increasing biodiversity and climate resilience.
89%
(>215.000) of the farm
plots in our Responsibly
Sourced Cocoa program
have been polygon
mapped - tracing the
entire perimeter of a
farm rather than just one
GPS location point to
increase transparency
and traceability.
AMBITION:
100% of the cocoa farm
plots polygon mapped.

3,000
hectares of pastureland
in Latin America are
being regenerated into
healthy, productive soil
with the support of Mars
through our venture,
Andean Cacao.
AMBITION:
Deploying climate-smart
practices across our
modern sustainable
cocoa farming programs
and partnerships.
Climatesmart
cocoa
is the focus of our
efforts at our UC Davis
Greenhouse, where Mars
is supporting farmers and
our planet by developing
a new generation of
cocoa plants that are
more drought resistant
and durable to pests
and diseases.
AMBITION:
Helping secure the
future of cocoa
through science.
