We work in Gosport to introduce Fairtrade to schools, businesses, organisations, places of worship, and more.
What is Gosport Fairtrade Action?
Gosport Fairtrade Action (GFA), is a group of volunteers, promoting Fairtrade in Gosport, since 2006. Our members come from a range of local organisations, businesses, schools, religious groups, various political parties, and include some local councillors. We work closely with the Borough Council to make Gosport a Fairtrade Community. We are recognised as a local Fairtrade group by the national Fairtrade Foundation.

The Environment
Fairtrade farmers protect the environment and address the challenges of climate change. Farmers say the climate emergency is one of the major threats they face. Environmental protection is ingrained in Fairtrade. To gain Fairtrade accreditation to sell Fairtrade products, farmers have to improve soil and water quality, manage pests, avoid using harmful chemicals, manage waste, reduce their greenhouse gas emissions and protect biodiversity.
