What does chocolate have to do with deforestation?

For the first episode of our chocolate series, I spoke to Sam Mawutor of Mighty Earth. He runs campaigns to influence business and government to act to end deforestation in cocoa-growing regions.

Sam and I discussed how farmer poverty and deforestation are connected, his favorite kind of chocolate, and what average consumers (like you!) can do to create impact.
