Yes - to pay the "right" price for the produce, so that the producer gets a fair deal.

I regularly shop at Asda and my wife says that is one of the worst. I need to change my habits then!!

Love those FairTrade chewy bars, especially the cranberry and raisin one. Daughter bought some Rowse FairTrade honey today! :)

This is difficult but not totally impossible. As well as Fair Trade goods, there are quite lot of ethical minded retailers. Best thing is to get googling with words like fair, ethical and sustainable. Try www(.)thegoodshoppingguide(.)co(.)uk as a starting point. Good luck.
