The document summarizes a conservation project in Bajo Mira y Frontera Territory, Colombia that protects 46,000 hectares of forest using agroforestry practices to provide resilience against climate change. It discusses optimizing cocoa plantation practices and developing a value chain through devoted nurseries, joint drying floors, fermentation, and collection centers. The project involves teamwork between NGOs, public sector, private sector, and international aid and provides benefits like biodiversity protection and improved community wellness through growth, integration, and diversification of cooperative production companies and clusters. The main challenge is transitioning the successful project into a successful business which requires achieving critical mass, professional management, and a profitable business model to access financing.
