--- title: "Fair trade" url: "https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/2023-02-28-17-59-47-fair-trade" school: "Brookside Primary School" --- # Fair trade ![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/blog/IMG_9653_(1).JPG) 28 February 2023 [Miss Loney](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/author/AlexLoney) [Reception](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/category/reception) Today reception discussed where food comes from, specifically chocolate (our favourite). We talked about how hard the farmers work to harvest the coco beans to send to the factories to make our delicious chocolate. We then found out that some farmers don't get paid nearly enough for all their hard work and we decided that wasn't fair! We found out that there is a special logo on food packages which tell us if the farmers who have helped harvest the foods have been paid fairly. We sorted Miss Loney's shopping into food that was bought fairly and food that might not have been. Next time we go shopping with our grown ups we will keep our eyes peeled for the fair trade logo.
