What we need is trade policy that supports decent and dignified work, human rights, the environment, a just energy transition and food sovereignty.

We're building towards a new trade system based on the cooperation of people, not competition.

We need a trade system that supports direct fair trade networks between producers and consumers, prioritising local and regional systems.

The current neoliberal trade system puts power in the hands of transnational corporations, threatening people and the planet.

We need a different kind of trade based on solidarity, democracy, cooperation and equality.

🐝 75% of food crops depend on pollinators. Lose pollinators, lose food.
Monocultures, pesticides and deforestation destroy the very biodiversity that agriculture relies on to survive.
