While reading the current email bulletin from The Vanilla Company I saw the heading:

Mars goes Fairtrade, not the planet, the company.

So I followed the links to

This article.

The interesting part is that Mars broke the code for the gene sequencing of cacao as a way to create cacao that will adapt to the changing climate in 2010 but did not patent it and it will remain in public domain.

For chocolate growers, importers, processors and simply lovers of all things chocolate, this is big news.

"There are, it has been said, two types of people in the world. There are those who say: this glass is half full. And then there are those who say: this glass is half empty. The world belongs, however, to those who can look at the glass and say: What's up with this glass? Excuse me? Excuse me? This is my glass? I don't think so. My glass was full! And it was a bigger glass!" Terry Pratchett
