Glastonbury goes Fairtrade

Every cup of coffee sold at Glastonbury 2004 will be Fairtrade

Glastonbury has blazed a trail for other festivals around the UK by requiring all food stalls to sell Fairtrade coffee and chocolate. The FAIRTRADE Mark will be displayed on stalls throughout the festival grounds, guaranteeing to festival goers that the coffee and chocolate they buy has been independently Fairtrade certified. For the farmers and workers growing these crops, Fairtrade means a stable price which covers their production costs, along with a premium that their organisation can invest in business development to increase the quality of their product or social and environmental schemes that will benefit the wider community. Too many farmers in the developing world have to contend with fluctuating prices that may not even cover what it costs to produce their crop. Fairtrade makes a big impact on their day-to-day life and their families’ future.

Choose products with the FAIRTRADE Mark: tea, coffee, chocolate, sugar, bananas, fresh fruit, juices, honey, cakes, biscuits, cereal bars, jams, sauces and roses.
