This year, the campaign is inviting local people to 'Trust their Taste' and to look for the Fairtrade Mark. The label guarantees third world farmers and communities receive a better deal and The Fairtrade Foundation awards its label to products that meet its criteria regarding trading terms. "Fair-trade involves paying small-scale producers a fair price for the foods that they produce," explains Councillor Dennis Brown, the District Council Cabinet Member for the Environment. "By purchasing products that display the Fair Trade mark, we can all do something practical, simple and positive to help give families in the developing world a brighter future." On the 4th March there will be 'Go Batty About Bananas' outside St Thomas Church Salisbury from 10.00 GMT and 13.00 GMT.  | | Check on the choc: is it a fair product? |
Here consumers will have a chance to sample free bananas, tea and coffee. There will also be plenty of information on how to obtain Fairtrade goods in Salisbury. Phil Harding from the BBC's Time Team and Bishop Hullah will be attending the event. There will be a coffee morning and Fairtrade stall inside the church as usual.  | | Coffee is amongst products that can be fairly traded |
Schools throughout the district will be involved in the celebrations. There will be a Fairtrade Café at Bishop Wordsworth during the two weeks and a Fairtrade Chocolate Cakes sale at St. Osmunds Catholic Primary School on the 7th March between 14.00-16.00 GMT. Throughout Wiltshire, keep a look out for displays, tastings, coffee mornings and stalls that will be held in supermarkets, shops, churches and markets throughout the fortnight.
