This week is a big one. We’re talking to Cat Rayner from the Fairtrade Foundation.
For those of you who don’t know, the Fairtrade Foundation is that certification you typically come across when you buy your bananas or coffee - that iconic sticker on many products (actually around 6,000 of them!).
Fairtrade is an organisation dedicated to giving producers, farmers, workers a fair price and ethical conditions for the work they do.
Empowerment is at the core of what Fairtade is all about, whether it’s giving those that produce the food we love a say in the matter, setting the standard in the industry or lobbying the government for change.
We discuss what it means to be ‘Fairtrade’, and why the topic matters, along with how Fairtrade has really set the path for other important certifications. We also dive into Fairtrade's 25th anniversary celebrations and what the path ahead looks like for them.
