One of the biggest problems for people in poor countries is hunger. Almost 1 billion people in the world do not have enough food to eat. This is one in every seven people on the entire planet. Can anyone name any of the places where people might not have enough food to eat? 4

Small holder farmers are very important in the fight against hunger in poor countries. But what is a small holder farmer? (see if anyone can guess first).

Small holder farmers are farmers that hold only a small amount of land. They grow enough food for themselves and then sell the rest to people in their local communities. Often the small holder farmers provide the most food for their communities, so they are very important in the fight against hunger. The farmers with large amounts of land often sell their food to big companies or send it overseas, so local people remain hungry. There are around half a billion smallholder farmers across the world. 5

Supporting fair trade can help make things easier for small holder famers. Traidcraft, a fair trade organisation, works closely with small holder farmers to help them buy better farming tools and learn about how to grow more food for themselves and their communities. 6

The Fairtrade Foundation was set up at the beginning of the 1990s by agencies including Christian Aid, Oxfam, and the World Development Movement. It was set up to help people who suffered because of unfair world trade prices.

Fairtrade is about people, who dont get enough pay.After working their hardest day after day.Their profits are so small they cant keep going.They need our help so they can keep on growing.

These people are the same, as you and I,But they need our help to hold their heads high.So next time you are choosing a chocolate bar,Remember Fairtrade is best by far!

The first FAIRTRADE product was Green and Blacks Maya Gold chocolate. It appeared on the supermarket shelves in 1994.

Fairtrade helps farmers around the world to get a better deal.

In recent years it has become much harder for banana farmers to earn enough money to support their families. The price of bananas has fallen world-wide.

Fairtrade can't solve all the problems faced by banana farmers, but it is helping some of them to earn enough money to survive.

Will you put Fairtrade in your break?

You can make a difference support Fairtrade by buying Fairtrade goods in shops and supermarkets, or in school.
