We're joined by Fairtrade Australia & New Zealand's Business Development Manager, Pravin Sawmy. We discuss how Fairtrade is more than just getting a fair price for farmers - It's about looking after the surrounding farming community to bring lasting positive change, and even bringing in organic practices through incentive schemes. We learn about where our sugar, cotton, coffee and chocolate come from and the how the people who grow it for us live, including the horrific child labour and human trafficking issues which are prevalent in these industries.

This ep's top tip: Buy certified Fairtrade products whenever possible - just look for the logo.
