Fairtrade Fortnight is the nationwide effort to promote awareness of Fairtrade and urge people to buy products carrying the Fairtrade Mark. It unites all Fairtrade supporters, bringing together retailers, manufacturers, producers and consumers.
The two-week long campaign will highlight the need to think about where our food comes from and, through an interactive petition, will call on the government to take action before the 2013 G8 Summit. The petition will signal the start of a three-year long campaign by Fairtrade Foundation – ‘Make Food Fair’.
“Smallholders in developing countries are increasingly hit by fluctuating commodity prices affecting their income and the prices they pay for the food they buy themselves”, said Toby. “Choosing Fairtrade is one way to help secure a better deal for millions of people in developing countries, so we are asking our customers to support us over the weekend of the 2nd and 3rd March to assist in this quest”.
