Martha is a charity founder, originally from Zimbabwe now living in Abergavenny. She talked about how fairtrade came as a necessity to her when she lived in Africa. She said it saved her life and that fairtrade really changed her as a person. Martha reminded us that no one owns fairtrade and that fairtrade provides a guaranteed income for workers, it is a really fair movement.

In order to get the fairtrade logo (on a cookie for example) every ingredient that can be fairtrade has to be.
When you see the fairtrade logo it means that the producers are guaranteed a minimum price (this can increase),
The people have safe working conditions (Fairtrade auditors (inspectors) will not accept a pat on the back to look the other way),
No child labour or forced labour has gone into creating the products,
The environment is being cared for,
The terms of trade for farmers and workers in the developing world are fair.
The world's first fairtrade nation - Wales.

55% of fairtrade producers have chosen to go organic.
