Fairtrade Fortnight is taking place from 27th February – 12th March 2023.
What is Fairtrade?
Fairtrade works with farmers and workers so they can improve their living standards, invest in their communities and businesses, and protect our shared environment.
Fairtrade achieves this by rallying a global community of millions – farmers and workers, supply chain partners, brands, retailers, shoppers, schools, government – to pay fair prices and uphold fair production standards and practices.
Fair prices provide an immediate lifeline for farmers and workers struggling with low incomes and disadvantaged by global trade.
This year, fairtrade.org.uk are asking for us to help spread a simple message ; making the small switch to Fairtrade supports producers in protecting the future of some of our most-loved food and the planet.
Did you know?
Coffee, bananas and chocolate could soon be much more difficult to buy.
Climate change is making crops like these harder and harder to grow. Combined with deeply unfair trade, communities growing these crops are being pushed to the brink.
But here’s the good news.
More people choosing Fairtrade means extra income, power and support for those communities.
By making the small switch to Fairtrade, we can all support producers in protecting the future of some of our most-loved food and the planet.
An easy way to support Fairtrade Fortnight, is to switch catering supplies. If you want to discover some of the fairtrade products we have to offer, please click here to view some of our range.
