Food: Fairtrade

It can be difficult for farmers in poorer countries to get a fair price for the food they produce; Fairtrade exists to address this issue.

These resources comprise a set of informative teacher notes (including suggested learning activities) that run alongside a Powerpoint presentation filled with images to facilitate learning. Aimed at Key Stage 3, but also relevant for Key Stages 2 and 4. Areas covered:

Why life is difficult for farmers in LEDCs
What Fairtrade means
Economic benefits of Fairtrade
Environmental benefits of Fairtrade
Social benefits of Fairtrade
How we can all support Fairtrade
