I taught Fair trade for many years, I had the opportunity of visiting Ghana with 6th form Geographers. We went to a presentation by Kuapa Kokoo and went to a fair trade farm. As a teacher it fell into place about one word “PREMIUM”
I developed this lesson n the strength of that using the noun project.
A powerpoint shows the full story in simple diagrams. The discussion is important to emphasis how the consumer is willing to pay more for a fair trade product. The difference between the standard price and the fair trade price is the premium.
Kuapa kokoo is the fair trade cooperative. Farmers join the cooperative to get the benefits of the premium …but they must follow fair trade rules. Children must attend school, no unsustainable chemicals on the land, women are treated equally. Communities benefit by clean water, health, education. Fair trade is not a charity

I am charging £5 for this resource and will give £1 to fair trade for every purchase.

I have used my A level students to teach small groups of year 10s with this resource
