At EarthX 2025, Conscious Capital Foundation Founder & CEO, Lawrence Ford, interviews Dr. Kristy Leissle, PhD, a distinguished cocoa and chocolate expert. Dr. Leissle’s unique career blends academic research, field study, and entrepreneurial ventures.

In this highlight, Dr. Leissle discusses the central theme of her work: learning directly from cocoa-growing communities, honoring the individuals who sustain the supply chain, and “bridging worlds that may not understand one another very well.”
