For two weeks each year, thousands of schools, colleges, universities and communities come together to learn about people who grow and produce our food and drink, and cotton for our clothes. That’s because it’s Fairtrade Fortnight, which is happening from Monday 27 February to Sunday 12 March. This year, Fairtrade Fortnight has a simple message – making the small switch to Fairtrade helps producers protect the future of some of our most-loved food and our planet. Choosing Fairtrade products means extra income, power and support for people who grow the things we eat, drink and wear. This helps them to take better care of themselves and the planet. There are loads of ways to get involved. First, buy Fairtrade products whenever you can. Also, from 28 February to 2 March there will be a pop-up exhibition called the Endangered Aisle in Shoreditch, London. There visitors can discover what supermarket favourites are most at risk from climate change.

There will also be free online Big Fairtrade Get Togethers. During these online events, people can hear from Fairtrade farmers and other experts about how to save the future of our fave foods.

To help spread the word about the importance of Fairtrade, you, your family, church or school could also organise an event. Whether it’s a coffee morning, quiz night, assembly or bake sale, there are plenty of ways to tell people about the importance of Fairtrade.
