ChocoSol - a sustainable, equitable business - will be coming to Havergal College on January 13th as part of a half-day conference called Food for Thought.
What's ChocoSol all about?
Six years ago Michael Sacco showed up in Oaxaca, Mexico with an idea for a solar coffee roaster that would be "useful and profitable". Working with local farmers, he built a solar concentrator based on the designs of Canadian inventor Fraser Symington and started trying to roast chocolate. With his success, he decided to set up a partnership with the local farmers and brought their products to the Toronto market! During his workshop on Jan. 13th, he will explore questions like, how does one invite and delight people with a delicious and nutritious product line? How do you address current problems relating to ecology, inequality, and interculturality through chocolate? Get excited to make and talk chocolate, social justice and innovation in his workshop in the New Year!
