Fair Trade Foods: Change the World with What You Eat

Fair Trade foods: Change the world with what you eat Been wondering what the term “Fair Trade certified” means when it comes to food? If you have a general idea that it may be a "good thing," but aren't sure where to find these foods, or how to use them, we can help. When you see the Fair Trade certified mark on food and other goods, you can be assured that the producers in developing countries have received a fair price for their products, allowing them to make investments into improving their local community and infrastructure. With Fair Trade certified ingredients ranging from pasta and spices to cocoa and tea, you have many options for making a positive contribution to the lives of producers, sustaining the earth and the global economy. And now you can even use Fair Trade certified spices (pepper, ginger, nutmeg, Ceylon cinnamon, cloves & turmeric) to enhance your dishes, thanks to the efforts of the Frontier Natural Products Co-op folks. You can prepare entire Fair Trade meals for any time of day. As you plan a meal, simply check through your list of ingredients to see which ones may be offered in a Fair Trade version.
