What does ‘fairness to farmers’ actually mean?

Posted on February 9th, 2022 by Harvie Admin

We’re not going to purchase whatever is new and shiny from [farmers] and then move on. We’re in it for the long haul.” - Rachel Dana, Equal Exchange. 

Equal Exchange is a Fair Trade company that works directly with small farmers across the globe. In an industry that is plagued with a lack of transparency, human rights violations, and consolidation, Equal Exchange is one of the few players who is changing how food is consumed internationally.
