Have Swiss scientists made a chocolate breakthrough?
Update: 2024-08-262
Description
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?
