"Unlike other tree crops that have benefited from the development of modern, high yielding cultivars and crop management techniques to realise their genetic potential, more than 90 per cent of the global cocoa crop is produced by smallholders on subsistence farms with unimproved planting material," he said.

And he thinks the possibility that we'll run out of chocolate in the next few decades could start becoming reality in the very near future: "All the indicators are that we could be looking at a chocolate deficit of 100,000 tonnes a year in the next few years."

Gulp. So it'd be wise to stock up on your choc right now and for Pete's sake remember to turn off your damn lights when you're not at home. The more energy you waste and fuel you burn means less chocolate in the future. And who would want to live in that kind of world?
