Swiss Start-Up Revolutionizes Cocoa with Lab-Grown Chocolate.

A Swiss start-up, Food Brewer, is set to change the cocoa and coffee industry with its lab-grown approach. By using advanced cell culture technology, the company grows cocoa in bioreactors, bypassing traditional farming methods that are being increasingly affected by climate change and pests. This innovation offers a sustainable solution to declining cocoa production, particularly in West Africa. By 2026, Food Brewer plans to bring its cell-based chocolate to market, promising a product that’s both environmentally friendly and delicious. However, challenges remain, including regulatory hurdles and convincing consumers to embrace this new type of chocolate. The company aims to blend tradition with innovation, ensuring the new chocolate tastes just as good—if not better—than what we're used to.

Farmers in Central Region Embrace Climate-Resilient Farming for Better Yields.

Fifty-four farmers from Akotokyir, near Cape Coast, have been trained in modern, climate-resilient farming techniques aimed at improving crop yields and tackling the challenges posed by climate change. The training included methods for planting disease-resistant maize and using "neem technology" to protect crops like potatoes from nematodes. Farmers also learned about intercropping and techniques for growing high-nutrient crops such as purple and orange-fleshed sweet potatoes.The initiative, led by experts from the Crop Research Institute and AICCRA, aims to equip farmers with knowledge to boost productivity and improve food security.
