This summer we're taking our #DoItFair campaign to @weoutherefest!

We'll be talking to festival-goers to stand with farmers and workers and call for stronger laws that protect people and planet in global supply chains.

See you there? 👀

The @Independent taste-tested the best supermarket dark chocolates and 6 of the top 8 are Fairtrade 🍫💚

Today, many farmers in former Commonwealth countries still aren't paid fairly while global supply chains generate billions.

The Empire is gone. The imbalance isn't.

On @bbcradio4, a British farmer explains how climate impacts and rising costs are making farming harder.

The same is true for coffee, cocoa, bananas and more. If farmers are paid less than it costs to grow their crops, they can't invest in adapting to a changing climate.

[Fairtrade Foundation @FairtradeUK]

Climate change is already hitting coffee farms.

But farmers can't invest in climate solutions if they're not earning enough.

A fairer food system is one that's fair on the planet too 🌍☕

🧊☕️The Fairtrade Foundation’s ‘Do It Fair’ campaign demands business that is fair to people & planet.

I was pleased to attend an event this week to learn more about how we can support the campaign, including supporting the climate resilience for coffee & cocoa farmers overseas.

More than half of 25 to 34-year-olds surveyed by the @FairtradeUK said that they would be more likely to vote in a future general election for a Government that upheld the UK’s climate, the charity has reported.

Climate action is deciding votes.

New research shows half of under-34s would be more likely to vote for a government that delivers on climate commitments.

It’s time for action that’s fair for people AND the planet.

Bananas may be some of the cheapest fruit on supermarket shelves, but that price doesn’t reflect farmers' reality.

Rising costs and climate shocks are pushing farmers out - 30% of Dominican Republic banana farmers have already left the sector.

"We must ensure the new regulations both protect forests and work in practice for producers at the sharp end of climate change, to support a just transition to more environmentally friendly farming practices.”

Sophia Ostler, Senior Policy Manager at The Fairtrade Foundation, reacts to new rules that everyday products sold in the UK do not contribute to illegal deforestation around the world 👇

“We are pleased to see DEFRA making progress on the issue of deforestation. Now it’s crucial we hear directly from smallholder farmers to help shape these regulations.

The climate crisis is putting everyday products at risk & the people producing them bear the cost.
Nearly 100k supporters demanded change-rules still aren’t in place.

👉@PeterKyleMP where is the Responsible Business Conduct review?

Farmers can’t wait.

Child labour is still behind the things we buy every day.

This #WorldDayAgainstChildLabour, read why low incomes and child labour are deeply connected, and why real change starts with fair pay.

Is the UK “missing in action” when it comes to protecting the farmers behind our food?

Smallholder farmers are being squeezed by climate shocks + global conflict - while the UK is yet to follow through on new supply chain rules.
