Why Fairtrade

Farming is the single largest industry in the world. Yet millions of people who grow our food are not earning enough to feed themselves and their families. We are working to change this injustice through our simple yet powerful approach—making trade fairer for the people who grow our food.

Fair trade makes the world a better place

When you treat farmers and workers fairly, everyone benefits. Fair trade helps businesses source products that are ethically and sustainably produced while giving consumers confidence that the people behind the products they buy get a fair deal for their hard work.
