SUMMARY:Future of Fine Chocolate?
DESCRIPTION:The news is full of stories about rising cacao prices, fut
 ure cacao shortages and the efforts underway to address these issues. 
 The majority of the emphasis is on making cacao more disease resistant
  and increasing the yield. These are all wonderful efforts, but...what
 's going on to preserve fine flavor? How will we preserve the amazing 
 and outstanding cacao enjoyed by chocolate aficionados, produced by ar
 tisan chocolate makers and used by pastry chefs and chocolatiers today
 ?Join us on Saturday July 9th in Washington D.C. for a panel discussio
 n (USDA ARS, WCF, and others) and update on efforts underway that focu
 s on identifying, protecting, and promoting Fine Flavor beans. The eve
