Producers are co-advocates for the protection of the environment

“In fulfilling its commitment to promote and practice Fair Trade, SAFRUDI not only provides opportunities to its partner producers and artisans to work with dignity towards their economic upliftment.

The Foundation also makes them aware and gets their commitment to use properly managed indigenous materials that are not banned, endangered or acquired illegally. This way, they become co-advocates for the preservation and further sustainability of the environment which provides them with the natural resources for their income-generating activities.

Also, with respect to the Sustainable Agriculture assistance component which we provide to the rural communities that we are engaged with under our Integrated Social Development Program, the farmer-members of the people organizations are learning more about, and gradually adopting, the organic farming system. “
