Voluntary sustainability standards and certification offer a promising mechanism to mitigate the severe negative impacts of agricultural expansion and intensification on tropical biodiversity. From a conservation standpoint, certification of tropical agroforestry crops, especially coffee and coco...

Conserving biodiversity through certification of tropical agroforestry crops at local and landscape scales
We use a combination of a statistical model of climatic suitability (Maxent) and the analysis of individual, potentially limiting climate variables. We find that: 1) contrary to expectation, maximum dry season temperatures are projected to become as or more limiting for cocoa as dry season water ...

Replication Data for: Predicting the future climatic suitability for cocoa farming of the leading producer countries, Ghana and Ivory Coast.
The production of tropical agricultural commodities, such as cocoa (Theobroma cacao) and coffee (Coffea spp.), the countries and communities engaged in it, and the industries dependent on these commodities, are vulnerable to climate change. This is especially so where a large percentage of the gl...

From site-level to regional adaptation planning for tropical commodities: cocoa in West Africa
The West African cocoa belt, reaching from Sierra Leone to southern Cameroon, is the origin of about 70% of the world's cocoa (Theobroma cacao), which in turn is the basis of the livelihoods of about two million farmers. We analyze cocoa's vulnerability to climate change in the West African cocoa...

Vulnerability to climate change of cocoa in West Africa: patterns, opportunities and limits to adaptation
Liberia is one of the world’s poorest countries. Efforts to rebuild its economy after several years
of internal conflict were partially set back by the 2014–5 Ebola crisis. The country’s lowland
humid climate and land-use history suggest a potential to increase the production of cocoa
(Theobroma ...
