We are quoted in this @TheGrocer article.

Unfair trading practices persist in the supply chains of everyday products such as onions coming into the UK.

Overseas growers should not be impoverished when selling to the UK.

We need fair business practices.

[The Grocer @TheGrocer]

The widespread use of ‘middlemen’ supermarket suppliers means downstream producers remain exposed to sharp buying practices

Campaigners warn little has changed two years after the issue was first put to the Groceries Code of Adjudicator

This survey by @riverford is damning - over two thirds of UK famers feel their relationship with retailers has worsened over the last two years.

It's a similar story for farmers in countries around the world that supply the UK market.

Finance for just transition policies is crucial – and must be made accessible to women working on the frontlines of the climate crisis.

Calls for a #JustTransition at #COP30 are key for women workers in India and across the world - enabling them to become more resilient to climate shocks by building social protection systems that secure their livelihoods.

[Climate Action Network International (CAN) @CANIntl]

Proposals by G77+China and the EU have already positioned #JustTransition as a cornerstone of global climate implementation at #COP30.

Mansi Shah is in Belém to ensure a JT mechanism helps build social protection systems for millions of Indian women.

That’s not just unfair. It undermines the fight against climate change. ⁠

To mark #WorldFoodDay, we’re calling on the UK Government to make sure new deforestation laws work with farmers, not against them.⁠
⁠
The food and drink we love most - chocolate, coffee, and more - depends on millions of smallholder farmers.

[Transform Trade @transformtrade_]

But right now, they risk being cut out of the very markets they depend on. ⁠
⁠
The UK is introducing new laws to tackle deforestation. These are important steps for our planet - but unless they’re designed fairly, they could pile extra costs onto farmers.

The UK market is responsible for clearing a forest area the size of Liverpool every year.

We welcome the EU and the UK taking steps to address this.

However, the voices of smallholder farmers in low- and middle-income countries are missing from the conversation.

[Corporate Justice Coalition @CorpJusticeUK]

🚨 The UK is conducting an official assessment on business and human rights.

And anyone can input until 14 October.

Please share widely to ensure all voices are heard, including those with both personal and professional expertise on UK corporate harms.

As members of the Fair Trade movement we are united in a belief that every person has the right to live and work in safety and determine their own future.

We raise our voices in solidarity with the people of Gaza and the West Bank whose futures are being deliberately dismantled.

Smallholder farmers grow up to 70% of Africa's food. Acting on their concerns is vital if the Africa Climate Summit is to be a success.

The UAWC seed bank in Hebron enabled storage of hardy, climate-resilient seed collected from farms across the region - a key part of an effective farmer-managed seed system.

Its destruction is a crime against farmers and producers worldwide.

🇵🇸 🌾Seed banks are a lifeline for farmers the world over.

Israeli forces' recent, deliberate destruction of a Palestinian seed bank in the West Bank is an attack on the right to share and save indigenous seed varieties. (1/2)
