Fair Trade Resources

The Fairtrade foundation website contains lots of information about Fairtrade, including campaigning resources and a site for schools wanting to be involved with fair trade.

Have you ever wondered whether to buy Fairtrade or organic? What about all of those food miles? These and other awkward questions are answered in our 'Fairtrade Myths and Realities' document.  We have also put together a list of Fairtrade FAQ's which you might find useful.
