Christmas is a time for giving, and as the ethical movement continues to gain momentum, it’s the perfect time for us to think more deeply about our products and where they come from. Around the world, farmers and workers toil to produce some of the things we love to eat, drink and wear. Every day of advent, Fairtrade reveals a unique view on one of these communities. We know that Christmas will be quite different this year, with many people left unable to celebrate with their families. With this in mind we hope the prizes up for grabs each day will lift people’s spirits and do right by farmers too.
Explaining the importance of choosing Fairtrade this year more than ever, Renato Theodoro, President of CAFESUL coffee co-operative in Brazil, says: ‘We producers ask you to keep consuming Fairtrade products because the Premium that we get when you buy our products is being used for different social actions that contribute to minimising the effects of this pandemic.’
Renato’s story reflects that of many of the 1.6 million farmers and workers impacted by Fairtrade products.
For a chance to win one of the many beautiful, delicious, and luxurious prizes on offer this year, all you need to do is correctly answer a question about the daily product or the farmers like Renato at the end of the supply chain, posted by the brand of the day. Fairtrade’s Advent Calendar is the perfect introduction to what Fairtrade has to offer.
