What have you had to eat over the last 24 hours?
Did you just reach into the fridge or buy it from the shop without any thought?
Was it served to you on the dinner table, tasty and hot?
Small farmers struggle to provide for themselves and their families.
Fairtrade provides them with the security of knowing they’ll receive a fair price for their crop.
Fairtrade Fortnight 2013 Mon 25 February to Sun 10 March
Any product that is marked by the official FairTrade logo is certified as having been grown, harvested and sold in a fair manner.
FAIR FOR THE WORKER AND FAIR FOR THEIR LIVELYHOODS
What is Fairtrade?
Ensuring the right pay for the right amount of work
Equal opportunities for women
No children working for Fairtrade farmers Access to education for all
children of Fairtrade farmers
An official document ensuring everything is fair and legal
Free health care for all workers
The correct uniform and the correct training
Some of these points may seem obvious. However, in much of the world today farming and food production is dominated by underpaid, vulnerable people, who are so desperate to earn some money.
You may think that you are not able to help...
But...
Many foods are now produced under the fairtrade label ...
