14. 27 February – 12 March 2023. Fair Trade fortnight: Could you organise an event?
Making the small switch to Fairtrade supports producers in protecting the future of some of our most-loved food and the planet.

Combined with deeply unfair trade, communities growing these crops are being pushed to the brink.
