Have Swiss scientists made a chocolate breakthrough?
We meet the people and businesses trying to make it more ethical, more sustainable and more healthy
Chocolate is very important to Switzerland’s economy: with more than 200,000 metric tonnes produced each year, sales are worth almost $2 billion.
But there are challenges – not just over sustainability, but over exploitation. And the volatile price of cacao.
We meet the researchers who are coming up with solutions – including new, and potentially healthier, types of a favourite indulgence.
And ask: Is this enough to secure the future of chocolate?
