Fair Trade given new push by government grant
13th October 2009
Harriet Lamb the inspirational head of the Fair Trade Foundation is featured in this BBC news video that reports on a £12m grant to the organisation to help promote an expansion of the range of products that fall under the Fair Trade orbit. Welcome news indeed - Harriet spoke at our Economics Conference in June 2008 and listening to her and watching films like Black Gold convinced me never to buy another bag of non Fair Trade tea or coffee ever again if I could help it.
