Swiss Chocolate: A Global Commodity

My story map is on Swiss chocolate. I begin by discussing the history of chocolate and chocolate consumption and production in Switzerland. I then go on to discuss cocoa farming in West Africa and many of the associated issues. This story map uncovers some unsettling facts about the production of our chocolate, but also mentions some of the initiatives that have been started to combat these issues.
