The problem( very briefly ) are monocultures ( soil erosion, micro-ecosystem destruction, social- not growing for ones own needs) , global trade, corporations (supermarkets/foodmultinationals/armstrade etc ) and landlordism perputate this as well as changing our climateand polutting our water..
There will never be 'trade justice' as the history of landownership/exploitation which is built intothe concpets of capitalist trade negate this whether in England or Africa. You cannot have 'fair trade' when land needs to be given backto the people of the planet- otherwise yuouperpetuate the misery until eco-collapse ans wave goodbye planet for everyone. Join the dots there is plentyof evidence and you don't need a fucking PH-middleclass-D to do it.
