Karen Palframan, of Fairtrade Bradford and Ilkley, was there at the big handover of the Make Trade Fair petition at number 10 Downing Street on 9th May.
Campaigners, including the “Made In Chelsea” star, Cheska Hull, handed in two petitions containing 75,000 signatures from Fairtrade campaigners and members of the Co-operative. The petitions call on the UK government to use the G8 summit to support smallholder farmers, to feed the world fairly and sustainably. Together with the Enough Food For Everyone IF Campaign, this action has a strong chance of bringing about change in the way food is produced and distributed.
Join the IF campaigners in London on June 8th to remind David Cameron to urge the G8 to reform our broken food system. We need real change so that no one need go hungry.
