We are delighted to welcome Rosibel Ruiz, a Fairtrade coffee producer from Nicaragua, to hear her story about the difference Fairtrade had made to her life.

Gary Ayley, National Account Executive at Café Direct, will talk on how through 30 years of driving positive change through Café Direct’s long-term partnerships, farmers are able to grow exceptional quality coffee, restore their environment and benefit their communities.

Hear how Café Direct supports farmers through Fairtrade and uses science-based targets to help mitigate the effects of Climate Change on producers and their communities.
