  Rainforest Alliance

  Great interview with Diane! I just wanted to point out one error in the answer about tropical products and ethical labels. The Rainforest Alliance is not a fair-trade association. We have our own sustainable agriculture certification program that encompasses environmental, social and economic criteria for farms that produce tropical crops such as coffee, cocoa, bananas and tea. To earn Rainforest Alliance certification, farms must meet a set of standards covering worker protection, housing, pay and medical care; education for farm children; water and soil conservation; agrochemical reduction and wildlife protection, among other things. To see a video of Rainforest Alliance Certified farms in Colombia, visit www.youtube.com/watch?v=HF3MFxpeeFc.  On An interview with sustainable-food advocate Diane Hatz posted 2 years ago 5 Responses
