Chris Martin goes to Ghana...

Just been looking at the rather magnificent Make Trade Fair website and saw that they've put a cool story up about Chris Martin's recent trip to Ghana. Chris travelled there to find out how unfair trade has flooded the country with cheap imports, at the expense of the 60 per cent of the people there who rely on farming for a living. As Chris says after a visit to the Kuapa Kokoo collective, which grows cocoa beans for divine chocolate: "Fair Trade chocolate tastes better, but also it was amazing to go to a rich, green area like this and know that for every bar of Divine chocolate you're eating, you're helping out the people who grew it for you far more than if you eat Nestlé."
