I’ve made lots of different banana breads in my time, especially during lockdown - as we all did! After trying various recipes, I’ve landed on this one as my favourite and it felt like the perfect time to share it since we’re in the middle of Fairtrade Fortnight.
Buying Fairtrade is a simple but effective way to make a difference to the lives of the people who grow and create the things we love, like bananas! By choosing Fairtrade when you shop, as well as getting quality products, you are also investing in the farmers behind them.
Through Fairtrade, farmers have the security of a ‘Minimum Price’, as well as a ‘Fairtrade Premium’ - an additional sum to invest in community, business, and environmental projects of their choice. This means they can protect their communities and their crops, while being kind to our planet, too.
I first started supporting Fairtrade in 2016 and I’ve been involved with Fairtrade Fortnight ever since. This year, I’m taking part in an exciting competition - click here to check it out.
