Geography Task

During our last Geography task we studied maps and used grid references correctly. Your maps were fantastic! If you would like to have a look at them or your friends maps click HERE.
Our Geography focus today is:
To study what Fairtrade means and find out about the Fairtrade food process.
All of the food we buy in our supermarkets in Great Britain comes from different countries around the world. This is a long process, from food grown, to being packaged and shipped across the world to supermarkets.
How do we know about the conditions the foods are made in?
Are they fair?
Today we are going to focus on what Fairtrade means.
What is Fairtrade?
-An organisation that makes sure workers from developing countries receive a decent wage.
-Ensures good working conditions.
-Makes sure that only adults are employed to work- not children.
-Helps villages in developing countries to live healthily and happily without needing charity or hand-outs.
-Looks after the environment. Farmers are paid fairly so they don’t need to use harmful chemicals to grow more food, faster.
Watch THIS video to find out more about the meaning of Fairtrade.
Now read some more information about the different types of workers involved HERE.
