Nicola attended a session from Fair Trade Africa and was delighted to hear how they are promoting Fair Trade within the continent, including products like jams from Meru Herbs in Kenya. Jade learned about being resourceful with food from the man who opened the continent’s first zero waste shop, Nude Foods. In their lunch break they checked out the Expo Market Place and met Esky and Sarah from our friends at Turqle
