This week I’m in Peru finding out how climate change and low market prices are affecting coffee farmers. Some are turning to other crops because they can no longer grow arabica - the bean that goes into our daily cappuccinos and flat whites.
It's naive to think #Fairtrade's only value is price. Fairtrade farmers are members of producer organisations that offer services to increase quality, equality & improve livelihoods. Read a roaster's journey to demystify coffee prices https://t.co/DXmMPjHvp3 via @DailyCoffeeNews.
We have to find a way to halt the catastrophic crisis in nature, and #sustainable agriculture could provide the answer: https://t.co/AhH3qzuV8K
#BiodiversityDay every day
This International Women's Day the Fairtrade theme is #BalanceforBetter
So let's hear it from our Women Leaders directly on what drives their belief for a gender-balanced world!
Hooray for #FairtradeFortnight - the annual celebration of farmers in developing countries who grow the food we eat. In our new guest blog, Anna from @FairtradeUK looks at coffee farming to show how organic & Fairtrade are closely aligned. ☕ https://t.co/gwb5jPQjOg
Proud to be a Patron of Fairtrade. Why should so much of our food be cheap at the expense of producers who can ill afford to sell at such low prices but frequently have no choice. Support Fairtrade and make a lifelong difference.
Happy #InternationalCoffeeDay! While we celebrate this fantastic drink, we also look at the impact of plummeting coffee prices on the farmers who grow coffee, and how you can help: https://t.co/P39s7wuJd5
Our trade deals are too important to let the government do them in secret. Sign @FairtradeUK's petition now to get parliament a vote on them. We haven't got long, sign here now: https://t.co/016s8Uv7yy
