Have you noticed the soaring prices of coffee and chocolate lately? What if there was a way to help ease this?
Join us for breakfast at our Future Green Members Monthly Meetup on ‘Support Fair Farming‘
Each month, we dive into a different focus area of our food sustainability framework, providing subject matter expertise and inspiration to adopt and implement more socially just and environmentally friendly practices across the food business community. On top of this, you will also be treated to drinks and nibbles from our generous host!
This month, we focus on ‘Support Fair Farming’.
What is Support Fair Farming?
Fair trade offers a tasty solution that’s good for your wallet and the planet. It’s more than just ethical shopping; it’s a global movement for change. By ensuring fair wages and safe conditions for farmers, fair trade helps stabilise prices and promotes biodiversity and sustainable practices. It’s a win-win that aligns with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and addresses urgent issues like climate change.
Did you know a 2°C temperature rise could cut crop yields by 30% in South Asia and Africa? Or that 84% of farmers worldwide struggle to access markets and fair prices? Fair trade is tackling these challenges, making your purchase a step towards a fairer world.
Join us as Chef Daniel shares how Fortnum & Mason have centred their sustainability efforts on four pillars: People, Product, Packaging, and Planet. Their teas and coffees are sourced through ethical and sustainable practices, setting a high industry standard.
By choosing fair trade, you’re not just buying a product, you’re investing in a fairer, more sustainable future. That’s a great reason to feel good about your next coffee or chocolate treat!
