Agrarwende bedeutet auch: Bäuerinnen und Bauern brauchen faire Preise! Für Kakaobäuerinnen und -bauern müsste sich der Kakaopreis etwa verdoppeln, damit sie überhaupt ein existenzsicherndes Einkommen haben. #livingincome #makechocolatefair

@kityates Kit, please just ignore if no interest / no time, I really appreciate the invaluable commentary from you & #IndependentSage - but I have been intrigued to discover the resonances from 1796 when the 21-yr old #JaneAusten started writing #PrideAndPrejudice, & how her characters encapsulate perspectives dividing #UKpolitics then & now.

@Tony_Meredith Thanks for drawing my attention to the relevance of #PrideAndPrejudice to #UKpolitics today. 225 years ago #Britain had a #Tory #PrimeMinister pushing for a fairer society with a #LivingIncome & an expansion of #WelfareBenefits. He was supported by many enlightened landowners but undermined by proponents of low taxes, #TrickleDownEconomics, & #charity. All astutely observed by #JaneAusten!

“#Coffee producers deserve a better mechanism to price their #coffee, one that covers their production costs, provides a #sustainable livelihood and incentivizes the next generation of #coffee producers to run their farms instead of migrating”

What is a Living Income?

And why does it need to be
included in the EU Corporate
Sustainability Due
Diligence Directive?

Great work by Fairtrade Advocacy to adress these crucial questions:

#csddd #livingincome

43% of households - 30 million people - will be unable to afford a decent standard of living by 2024

That includes almost 90% of single parents & 50% of workers with children

This is truly horrific

Do you think a #LivingIncome the best way to address this? That’s the #NewEconomicsFoundation proposal - v interesting

43% of households will be unable to afford a decent standard of living by the time of the next General Election. A complete failure on living standards that we must address through a #Livingincome.
