Nestle, Barry Callebaut, re.green to restore areas in Brazil’s cocoa, coffee regions
The companies said the two separate projects will plant 11 million trees across 8,000 hectares (19,768 acres).
The re.green project, designed to span 30 years, involves planting 3.3 million trees of native species from Brazil’s coastal Atlantic rainforest in the northeastern state of Bahia. It is expected to generate 880,000 carbon credits.
The separate partnership with Barry Callebaut seeks to restore 6,000 hectares in the states of Bahia and Para, most of which will be converted into agroforestry systems with cocoa.
