Fairtrade Fortnight 2023 - Monday February 27 - Sunday March 12th
|
Calne Fairtrade at the 2023 Calne Summer Carnival 2023
This Fairtrade Fortnight, join us in spreading 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 cocoa, bananas and coffee could soon be much more difficult to find on our shelves?
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 of us 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.
