What do you think about when you go shopping? The look? A fair deal on the price? What about the people who produce the things you buy… should they get a fair deal too?

We think so! That’s why we support something called Fair Trade. Find out more about Fair Trade and what you can do to make a difference too.

Also take a look at the stories below which show how farmers around the world are being helped to get a better deal.

Bonkers about bananas! Follow the fruit as they’re grown in the Caribbean, harvested and shipped to you. Meet the farmers and find out how Fair Trade is helping them... There’s a silly banana word search too!

Pink carrots? Really! Unusual fruit and veg means better prices, so farmers in Guatemala can afford school and health care for their children.

Kuapa Kokoo – that’s Ghanaian for "good cocoa farmer" – good both because they’re top quality beans for your chocolate, and because the farmers are paid a fair price for their beans.

Dairy farming? Sounds a doddle … feed the cows… milk them… easy! Well, not quite! Take a look at Milking it! and try the ‘You’re the farmer’ online game. See how international trade rules affect the lives of farmers in Wales and the Caribbean.

Recipes… now you’ve bought those Fair Trade bananas and chocolate, how about cooking one of these delicious recipes?
