“Everyone needs to come onboard, and we fight this giant that is called climate change.”
We risk losing our food supply if we don't take global collective action together with farmers, says Martin from Fairtrade Kenyan coffee cooperative, Mutira Coffee Farmers Association.
This Fairtrade Fortnight special podcast features Martin's first-hand experience of climate change, and the Co-op supermarket's initiatives to combat it. We hear from Oikocredit who explain why food can only be secured if farmers receive stable, high prices and agriculture is invested in.
