What would you choose?

FAIR TRADE

• “Fairtrade is about better prices, decent working conditions and fair terms of trade for farmers and workers.”

Organic

• "Organic refers to the way agricultural products are grown and processed; organic food is produced using environmentally and animal friendly farming methods. Organic certification lets consumers know that every step along the supply chain has protected and maintained the organic integrity that begins on the farm."
