II Symposium on Agroforestry Systems with Cocoa Trees

SAFE coordinated the workshop on the Economic Viability and Financing of Agroforestry Systems, which was attended by 100 people from the cocoa community. Based on the discussions, the four working groups developed proposals for actions to facilitate access to public and private funding, to strengthen the Payment for Environmental Services (PSA, in portuguese) program and to make alternative use of agroforestry systems.
