Day One
Good Morning and Assalaam Alaikum from Dubai!
It's Fairtrade Fortnight 2016 and I'm delighted to be supporting fair trade producers around the world.
'SIT DOWN FOR BREAKFAST STAND UP FOR FARMERS!'
As Martin Luther King famously said, ‘before you finish eating breakfast in the morning, you’ve depended on more than half the world.'
Despite our dependence on farmers and workers for the foods, drinks and products that we love, about 795 million people are undernourished globally.
