Fair Trade - What can you do to help?

3/16/2014

In our lesson on Monday we will be considering Fair Trade and what we can do in our own lives to help make a difference in other countries around the world.

We are going to use this post to keep a record of some of the discussion we will be having on Monday afternoon (so don't blog anything yet)

As part of the lesson, we are going to consider the following scenarios.

You are a banana producer – what would you like to see happen and why?
You are a retailer in the UK and would like to make as much money as you can. What do you do and why?
You are a supermarket who believes in fairtrade. What do you do and why?
You are a shopper. How can you help! What do you do and why?
You are a radio show wanting to increase awareness of the issues surrounding fair trade. What could you do and why?

To help you with your thoughts why not logon to www.oddizzi.com and search for 'fair trade' Read the page that you are given as part of the results to see if that helps you.

We found out that there are over 23million banana's sold in a year. Also, that the banana's are really popular when it comes to fair trade. Another thing, hot chocolate can be a fair trade product.

We think that Fair Trade is good because it lets the producer get money for making the food this is how it goes: The producer makes the food the food gets took to the Fair trade company the food goes to the super market and all the money is shared between them but with super markets without Fair Trade the producer only gets a bit of money.The biggest Fair Trade producer is Sainsburrys.

If you buy a Fair Trade product it will probably be more expensive.

we like fair trade because it helps poorer countries who make food in other countries. Also, fair trade gives an equal share of money to the farmers who make the good for the richer countries. fair trade is a good company because they are cheeper than other bananas. It also helps by knowing it is a fair trade becuase it has the logo

We would sell fair triad products and buy them from the produces. We would bye the poor produces to help them get more mony we don't think it's fair that richer pried users get more mony than poor pried uses.

They plant a sucker in the ground and that grows into bananas. It grows on bamboo and it only takes eight months. They have a nifty way to get it from the banana trees to there company. They are cleaned put in to bunches then packed. When they first arrived they seen lots of plastic in the field. Also, all the plastic gets recycled and they use themes keep there bananas safe. The plastic stops thee leaves from rubbing the fruit because it can rot the fruit.

A really good selling fair trade product is a banana did you know that 23,000,000 in a yearThere are many fair trade products including hot chocolate chocolate bars and coffee The people that make fair trade food. They make the food give it to the super market to sell it it sells and they don't get enough money back
