25 Mar Fairtrade: More Important Now Than Ever
In these troubling times across the globe, it’s now more important than ever to think about where and what you buy and the impact choosing Fairtrade could have on the producers and their communities.
The Fairtrade Premium that the growers receive when you purchase a Fairtrade product helps them to invest in improving infrastructure, not just for their farms but their vicinity, such as building and maintaining roads, opening and staffing schools, hospitals and clinics and reducing environmental and climatic impacts – all hugely important things that can protect their harvest, workers and families and help them cope with the appalling situation facing us all at this time.
So remember the Fairtrade option and search out the Fairtrade Mark when you’re searching the fast-emptying shelves in our supermarkets.
