Literature review//Global
An ongoing systematic review of what drives cocoa yield variability
A systematic review, now at the full-text stage, of the published evidence on why cocoa yields vary so widely.
Portfolio//Case studies
Selected engagements across geographies and scales
A selection of recent projects led by our founder as a consultant, from systematic reviews to field trials and monitoring decisions. Clients and sites are unnamed for confidentiality, and projects still under way say so.

MRV advisory//Multi-country
Choosing a soil carbon monitoring provider for a five-country program
A structured selection of a soil carbon monitoring provider for a multinational agri-food company, from long list to signed contract.
Field experiment//South America
A shade-by-genotype cocoa trial, designed and planted in 2026
A field trial testing four shade levels against three cocoa genotypes on an irrigated farm, now planted.
Independent review//West Africa
A second look at the precision of a tree carbon estimate
An independent re-analysis that recomputed a tree carbon estimate's precision at the level its sampling supports.
Allometry//Southeast Asia
A site-specific cocoa biomass equation from destructive sampling
Destructive sampling of cocoa trees in a long-term trial, to fit and test an equation for its own trees.
Tool development//Global
Map of Soil Science
An interactive cartography of soil science: 10 domains, 150 entries, 615 sub-branches, and 8 thematic paths. Pannable, zoomable, bilingual.
Beyond client work
We also build tools of our own
Some of what we learn in engagements becomes public tools and resources: an interactive map of soil science, field references, calculators, simulators, databases, and courses. They live in the Ekodama Lab.
