As a whole, Ethos Chocolates is on a mission to educate the masses and change minds about GMO farming. Ethos Chocolates' limited-edition chocolates introduce four bars made with fruit that genetically modified farming has saved, improved or could potentially protect in the years to come. For instance, The Optimist explores how genetic engineering is being used to [protect cacao trees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mars-and-pairwise) and The [Hero](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/climate-hero-super-cake-mix) offers a look at how GMO researchers are fighting a disease that threatens orange trees in Florida. Launched just in time for [Valentine's Day](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cocoamitment-campaign) this year, these chocolates offer plenty of food for thought. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.1/10 - Popularity: 84% | Activity: 91% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Pro-gmo Foods:** There is a growing trend towards accepting GMOs as a sustainable solution in the food industry. - **GMO Education:** There is an increasing demand for educational resources to teach consumers about the benefits of GMOs. - **Sustainable Agriculture:** The use of GMOs in agriculture is becoming more recognized as a more environmentally sustainable solution. ### Who This Affects Most - **Food:** The food industry has an opportunity to embrace the use of GMOs and educate consumers about their benefits. - **Agriculture:** The agriculture industry has an opportunity to promote the use of sustainable GMO farming practices. - **Education:** The education industry can develop materials to promote GMO education and help consumers understand the benefits of GMOs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Heirloom Cocoa Bean Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beyond-good-microbatch-collection.md) - [Columbian Chocolate Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sweetdreams.md) - [Ethical Chocolate Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/up-up-ethical-chocolate-bars.md) - [Microbatch Chocolate Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beyond-good.md) - [Functional Superfood Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superfood-chocolates.md) - [Citrusy Vegan Chocolate Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/almond-orange-oat-milk-chocolate-bar.md) - [Romantic Free-From Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/endangered-species-chocolate-be-mine-mix.md) - [Probiotic Chocolate Bites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ele-chocolates-probiotics.md) - [Madagascar-Sourced Ingredient Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smallbatch-chocolate-bars.md)
