What Is A Fairtrade Town?
A Fairtrade Town is a community that has made a commitment to supporting Fairtrade, and through it to support disadvantaged farmers and communities in the developing world. In practical terms this means:
- The community will have significant understanding and awareness of the concept of Fairtrade
- Fairtrade products will be widely available, bought and used throughout the town
- A commitment will have been made to increasing sales and awareness further still through promotional and educational activities.
To achieve this there are 5 specific goals set down by the Fairtrade Foundation which can be found on our 'Becoming A Fairtrade Town' page.
