Cocoa Zero: DeSci Revolutionizing Chocolate Production

ValleyDAO is funding cutting-edge research at Imperial College London, led by Dr. Oliver Konzock and Dr. Rodrigo Ledesma-Amaro, to develop a microbial solution for cocoa fat production. This project, known as Cocoa Zero, aims to create a more sustainable, ethical, and reliable alternative to traditional cocoa farming, addressing challenges such as rising prices and climate change. The goal is to produce cocoa fats using microbes similar to those used in beer brewing, leading to a more stable and environmentally friendly source of chocolate ingredients.
