Foreverland Food

24mila litri di acqua per un chilo di prodotto, 1,5 milioni di bambini che lavorano illegalmente, un’impronta di CO2 seconda solo a quella di carne bovina e formaggio. Questi sono i dati che stanno dietro alla produzione del cioccolato, e sono tutt’altro che dolci. Senza contare che in Africa il 45 per cento della deforestazione è legata proprio alle piantagioni di cacao. 🍫 La startup pugliese Foreverland Food ha messo a punto un’alternativa: si chiama Freecao ed è un cioccolato dall’anima tutta mediterranea, che dimostra che sostenibilità, innovazione e gusto possono coesistere. Rispetto al cioccolato tradizionale, Freecao riduce dell'80 per cento delle emissioni di CO2 e del 90 per cento il consumo di acqua. Ed è anche più sano: vegano, privo di allergeni, glutine e caffeina, contiene circa il 50 per cento in meno di zuccheri rispetto al cioccolato al latte.

🍫 Si può fare cioccolato senza cacao? Alcuni tra i prodotti che amiamo di più a livello globale, come carne, latticini, caffè o il cacao, hanno problemi comuni: filiere complesse e spesso insostenibili, sotto il punto di vista sociale e ambientale. Mentre su carne e latticini, ci sono ormai tanti prodotti alternativi, su cacao e cioccolato non c'è granché. Eppure per consumo di acqua, suolo, e quindi deforestazione, e sfruttamento della manodopera, la filiera del cacao è una di quelle con i problemi più seri. Per parlare di questo argomento abbiamo fatto due chiacchiere con Giuseppe D'Alessandro, uno dei quattro fondatori di Foreverland Food. Foreverland, partendo dalla fermentazione della carruba, legume molto diffuso nel Mediterraneo, è riuscita a replicare il gusto e la consistenza del cioccolato. Magia? No! Solo tanta ricerca e impegno. Siete curiosi? Pronti? Si parte! 🎧 Ascolta qui il nuovo episodio: https://lnkd.in/dnp8b8hA Massimo Sabatini, Massimo Brochetta, Riccardo Bottiroli, Eatable Adventures

14 Chocolate Alternatives for a Tastier Future 🍫 Chocolate is an industry that is both a driver and a victim of climate change. While extreme weather events are slashing cocoa yields, high demand for cocoa leads to deforestation (to make room for cocoa farming) and biodiversity loss, which contributes to further warming. The globe is facing a 3rd deficit in a row leading to all-time low stocks (and consequently all-time high prices). “Traditional chocolate faces two economic challenges: a price increase of +300% compared to last year and the potential disappearance of 90% of plantations in Ghana and Ivory Coast by 2050 due to climate change”, Massimo Sabatini of Foreverland Food Fortunately for us choco-holics, startups are working to come up with chocolate alternatives that aren’t so… problematic. Plus investors and big food are getting behind the Trend - just last week Voyage Foods secured $55 million Series A+ funding just two weeks after signing a commercial deal with giant Cargill.
