How are chocolates made from farm to bar?

What does it take to make truly, healthy chocolates? Is it just about traceability? Is it just about building a community of cocoa farmers? Is it the post-harvest process which is key to bringing out that chocolatey flavor? Or is it the chocolate-maker’s skill which tempers and brings out that nice shiny coat?
