This year, 2024, is the 30th anniversary of the FAIRTRADE Mark in the UK, and the Fairtrade Foundation has been celebrating the achievements of the movement with innovative events and campaigns throughout the year.
It was a pleasure to attend the Fairtrade Christmas Reception at Parliament on 4 December 2024 to learn about the Foundation’s work to support millions of farmers in enhancing food sustainability.
Dr. Nyagoy Nyong’o, is the incoming UK Chair of the Fairtrade Foundation, and she shared a beautiful African proverb: ‘However long or dark the night is, the dawn will always break.’. This holds some much needed hope as we join together to create a fairer and greener global food supply chain.
