Our globalised food production often results in the export of exploitative practices to developing nations. Multinational corporations dictate the the shelf prices of an item which lack labour and environmental safeguards in the production. Abandonment of traditional farming practices, rainforest clearing for more arable land, dependance on artificial fertalisers and pesticides are all practices of unacounted for food production. Buying fairtrade-branded can give you that satisfaction that the products are sourced directly from local co-operatives, putting more money into the pockets of the growers, who then can invest in more sustainable farming as well as their family's basic needs.
