Information about Fairtrade

Fairtrade ensures a better deal for producers in developing countries enabling farmers and workers to improve their lives, their communities and protect their environment. There is more information at www.fairtrade.org.uk

The image below can also be seen on Fairtrade products.

The videos and pictures below were taken in India by Namita Verma, teacher at JNV Bhiwani School. The videos were from a moving train so are hard to focus on but they give an idea of the scale and size of the fields. If you have any questions about pictures or videos, then please contact Namita here.

In the UK, using Fairtrade products is becoming more and more important. What is is like in other countries? Is Fairtrade taught in schools? Do you have Fairtrade farmers near to you?

We are going to have a quiz, staff room Big Swap, assemblies, Fairtrade cookies made in Food Technology, have asked a Traidcraft Speaker to talk to Year 7 about Fairtrade and lots of other things. What are you doing during Fairtrade Fortnight? I would love to know what other schools are planning.

Dear Catherine in our area fair trade crops are grown as it is a rural area. We have the privilege to watch the farmers' life very closely and really this time when the crops are growing, it is a wonderful scenery for us to behold.

Hi Namita, I just wanted to say thank you for all the wonderful things you have put on the page. I have been quite busy recently after Christmas so have only just had chance to look. Thank you so much! It would be great if some of my pupils could maybe put some questions on here about Fairtrade. Would that be possible?

Sorry Catherine did not take any photos of the session but it was really interesting and my children took lots of notes in their learning logs. I will try and scan an example and upload. We also did a whole day of Fairtrade cooking! now I do have a couple of photos of that. I will see what I can do.
