Watch this short video about Fairtrade:

Change the world through your choices – Fairtrade Schools

Which would you buy; a banana with a Fairtrade sticker or one without? Do you know the difference?

Did you know that the choice between a Fairtrade banana and a non-Fairtrade banana can make a big difference to the lives of banana farmers in banana-growing regions of the world. By choosing the Fairtrade banana, you know the banana farmer who grew the banana was paid fairly. It is difficult for us to know if the farmer who grew the non-Fairtrade banana was paid a fair price.

All our choices have consequences. Through the small choices that we make every day, they can make a BIG difference in the world.

 

Can you find out the prices of different Fairtrade foods? How do they compare with similar foods that are not Fairtrade? (I typed in Google ‘how much is Fairtrade food at Tesco’)

Products Fairtrade Item Price Non-Fairtrade Price
banana        
coffee        
Tea        
chocolate        
sugar        

What do you notice? Why do you think this is?
