The RhizoSource model
Empowering Smallholder Agriculture
At RhizoSource, we are driven by a commitment to creating change for smallholder farmers by giving them the tools to grow with regenerative practices. We are the bridge between smallholder cacao farmers and chocolate companies in creating a sustainable, transparent, and fair ecosystem.
By offering expert agronomic support, incentivized compensation, and promoting agroforestry, we transform cacao sourcing into a force for positive change. Together, we are cultivating a regenerative future for cacao farming, chocolate makers, and the planet.
5 million smallholder farmers produce 90% of the world’s cacao
