Fighting the Banana Wars and Other Fairtrade Battles by Harriet Lamb

Fighting the Banana Wars and Other Fairtrade Battles by Harriet Lamb

But by hard work and high ideals, Fairtrade is starting to transform the lives of over 7 million farmers, workers and their families, and is a powerful symbol of how extraordinary change can be achieved against all the odds - by us all.

"A useful, accessible book..Readers who are new to Fairtrade will have their eyes opened to a shocking - yet exhilarating - story for our time, while seasoned campaigners will also find food for thought" * Church Times *
