Fairtrade aims to encourage better prices, decent working conditions, local sustainability and fair terms of trade for farmers and workers in the developing world.
Class 6 pupil Freya said: "If you already buy Fairtrade products, why not take it a step further and make sure every product possible is Fairtrade marked? That would make a huge difference."
