Gold, which is driving the deforestation, faces no equivalent check.
So a man can do everything right for five years — plant, shade, weed, wait, refuse the mining money — and get paid less this year than last, while the pit at his fence line pays cash on Tuesday. That isn't a market failure. Somebody signed.
Ghana, Nigeria, Côte d'Ivoire and Cameroon just signed the Abuja Declaration to stop exporting raw beans and bargain as one bloc. First thing in this mess with teeth in it. #Ghana #Cocoa

A bag of Ghanaian cocoa that once sold for GH¢3,625 now brings GH¢2,587 — about US$220, down from US$308. Meanwhile nearly 9,000 hectares of legally protected forest reserve have gone into illegal gold pits.
Brussels built a rule that demands GPS coordinates from a smallholder with patchy internet, exempted the actual bulldozer, delayed its own deadline twice, and calls that environmental policy. Cocoa is monitored for deforestation. #Ghana #Cocoa #Chocolate #EUDR #Deforestation

Another HacKit detail I’ve wanted to improve for years is finally done.
The Appearance pane used to hide the author badge colours inside a pop-up button. I’ve replaced it with coloured radio buttons, so the whole palette is visible at a glance and changing colour is immediate.
A small change, but exactly the kind of detail I care about in a native Mac app.
Coming in the next major HacKit update.

Forests in Liberia are falling to cocoa, in half a year the EU could ban imports https://news.mongabay.com/podcast/2026/07/forests-in-liberia-are-falling-to-cocoa-in-half-a-year-the-eu-could-ban-imports/

One feature I’ve wanted to add to HacKit for years is finally done.
The next major update introduces the Find Bar, so finding text in stories works just as you expect.
Getting NSTextFinder working outside of NSTextView was a challenge, but I’m delighted with the result.

In Liberia, a cocoa rush is turning rainforests into illegal plantations, risking EU trade bans under new deforestation rules.

#NetMassimo #biology #genetics #cacao #cocoa
An article published in the journal "PLoS ONE" reports the discovery of four previously unknown cacao lineages in Peru. A team of researchers conducted an analysis of 390 cacao trees representing traditional Amazonian varieties, and the results led to the discovery of the previously unknown lineages. This also provides a better understanding of the genetic characteristics of cacao in different regions.

As demand for cocoa grows, forests in Liberia are being cleared at an alarming rate. Between 2024 and 2025, one county alone lost an area of primary forest more than four times the size of Manhattan.
To know more we traveled to Kwa National Forest, one of West Africa's last remaining primary forests, to investigate the environmental cost of the cocoa boom.

@bwebster @mjtsai – So far getting exactly what I need using bindings and NSTreeController just fine. I can add to my backing tree and have it just do its thing to update the UI for me. Menus works perfectly… Collapsed state persisting between app launches is working as expected... The last thing I need is to check if drag and drop into a leaf node works. If it does, I am all set. But so far, it's working nicely! :)

A "cocoa rush" in Liberia’s remote southeast is driving a major deforestation crisis.
Tens of thousands of migrant workers from Côte d’Ivoire are clearing West Africa’s last remaining rainforests for cocoa plantations, pushing Grand Gedeh county to record forest loss.
