Did you know that...?
It seems contradictory, but many people who produce our food are food insecure. Although they dedicate their lives to growing coffee, cocoa, sugar or fruit, in many cases they do not earn enough income to cover their own basic needs. This paradox reflects one of the deepest injustices of the global food system.
Fair trade is a key tool for transforming this reality, as it guarantees stable minimum prices, community premiums and fairer trade relations. As a result, producer communities can access adequate food, invest in education and health, and build a more sustainable future.
In this way, fair trade contributes directly to SDG 2: Zero Hunger, fighting hunger at its root and promoting an economic model that puts people's dignity at the centre.
