We're in an unprecedented situation. As Brexit moves ahead, our trade deals with the rest of the world will be rewritten.
So it's crucial that we speak up now for the millions of voiceless and vulnerable farmers and workers who grow the food we love.
Millions of cocoa farmers in West Africa still live in extreme poverty, earning less than $1.25 a day and millions of coffee farmers still face a year-round struggle to feed themselves and their families.
Post-Brexit trade policy could make their lives better – or worse. It's all up for grabs.
Sign our petition to Prime Minister Theresa May and ask her to publicly commit to trade that delivers a fair deal for farmers and workers in developing countries.
They are so easily forgotten when our government gets around the negotiating table. Trade deals are usually thrashed out behind closed doors, and we need accountability and transparency as negotiations progress.
The Prime Minister has promised a government that works for the many not the few. She must ensure that includes the farmers and workers behind the tea, coffee, cocoa and bananas we enjoy every day.
This is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Demand that new UK trade rules deliver justice and help end poverty by treating farmers fairly.
Sign the petition now.
Dear Prime Minister,
You have promised that your government will work for the many, not the few.
As we renegotiate our trade relationships with the rest of the world, please make a public commitment that our future trade deals and business policies will tackle global poverty and deliver a fair deal to farmers and workers in developing countries.
Please ensure that negotiations are transparent, so that the UK public and poor countries themselves can see what is on the table.
