Well done to the thousands who called on government to add Fairtrade bananas to the fruit for schools scheme. Will there now be a response from Govt? @RishiSunak @Number10press? petition.parliament.uk/petitions/6195…


Fairtrade has launched a new risk map tool - this is an important way to understand the biggest human rights and environmental risks in some big supply chains.

To support companies in meeting due diligence duties, our Risk Map visualises the biggest human rights and environmental risks in specific products and countries. Admitting these risks in supply chains is the 1st step to tackle them: fairtr.de/kVa

How can @Fairtrade, @RnfrstAlliance and other sustainability standards help alleviate poverty amongst smallholder farmers? @IISD_news’ Standards and Poverty Reduction report finds that VSSs can help by increasing resources and opportunities for farmers. youtube.com/watch?v=D53Aou…

Certification can only form part of a company’s sustainability efforts. This is why Fairtrade engages in so many measures beyond certification. Read more 👇 fairtrade.net/news/fairtrade…

And it was a message we pointedly delivered to government officials and private sector stakeholders: world leaders must acknowledge the critical role that smallholder farmers have in addressing climate change. More: bit.ly/3TXyB0y

But it doesn’t have to be that way. That was the message that Fairtrade’s delegation brought to COP27 on behalf of nearly 2 million farmers and agricultural workers from around the world.


FairtradePolicy Team Reposted

Farmers hold the key to the climate crisis – if only world leaders at #COP27 would listen. Extreme temperatures. Devastating droughts This is the future that the world’s farmers + agricultural workers face. And it imperils the very existence of our planet’s food supply.
