Fair Trade Campus Week is taking place from Monday, October 28 to Friday, November 1. To recognize and celebrate Humber's status as a Fair Trade Campus, the Office of Sustainability is running multiple events throughout the week.
Fair Trade is a movement and a network of non-profit organizations that endeavors to improve the livelihoods of agricultural producers in developing countries by ensuring that producers receive a fair price for their products. This year, we are talking about living wage.
Small-scale farmers and workers need to earn enough income for a decent standard of living, so they can do the things we do like take their kids to school, eat healthy meals, afford decent housing and save for retirement.
