Meet the Farmer Behind the Produce Label

A label on your banana tells its country of origin, but the UK's Fairtrade Foundation (fairtrade.org) site tells you about the farmers who grow and harvest your bananas, what benefits they receive, and where you can buy Fairtrade certified bananas.

The Fairtrade site also provides the background of other produce: cocoa, coffee, cotton, flowers, sugar, and tea. Something to read while enjoying your banana.
