Every day, we enjoy products that are only grown in tropical countries — products like coffee and chocolate. These farmers and workers often do not earn enough to have a decent living. Many live on less than $2 per day.  When you see the Fairtrade Mark on a product, you know that farmers were paid at least the cost of production as well as an added Premium to invest in their businesses and communities. You know that child labor was banned and that measures were in place to protect the local environment and water supply.

GMOs (or genetically modified organisms) are living organisms whose genetic material has been artificially manipulated, creating combinations of plant, animal, bacteria, and/or virus genes that do not occur in nature or through traditional crossbreeding methods.  Brands with the Non-GMO Project Verified label are compliant with stringent provisions for ingredient testing, traceability, and segregation.
