<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" style="background: white; color: #202122; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">The barramundi or Asian sea
bass is from South East Asia. The origin of the word barramundi is from an Aboriginal
language of Australia. It means “large-scaled river fish.” Barramundi producer Australis
Aquaculture is the world’s first Fair Trade Certified barramundi producer. They
are committing 100 percent of their barramundi sales to community development
initiatives in Vietnam. </span><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" style="background: white; color: black; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">One of the most
impactful decisions we can make for our oceans as well as the fishers who rely
on them and their local communities is to purchase Fair Trade seafood and
incorporate it into your cooking.</span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14pt;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" style="background: white; color: black; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TXnHx3hxWUw/YN9odeXr3CI/AAAAAAAALOw/4Q7my2ge5Ak1NlflvaIwAqm_YoIMBUmiACLcBGAsYHQ/s544/barramundi%2Bfisherman.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="325" data-original-width="544" height="191" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TXnHx3hxWUw/YN9odeXr3CI/AAAAAAAALOw/4Q7my2ge5Ak1NlflvaIwAqm_YoIMBUmiACLcBGAsYHQ/w408-h191/barramundi%2Bfisherman.jpg" width="408" /></a></div><br /><p></p>Silicon Valley Fair Tradehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13917754963616589187noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3472625809132759455.post-1532187454710699882020-05-09T15:52:00.002-07:002020-05-09T15:52:39.805-07:00Fair Trade Day<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;">This World Fair Trade Day, we thank the farmers and workers who are the guardians of our planet’s biodiversity and work very hard towards global health and food security.

That’s why, under Fair Trade, farmers, workers, and fishermen vote democratically to determine how to invest their Community Development Funds to meet their unique needs. The vegetable farmers of Wholesum Harvest in Sonora, Mexico created a<br />
tortilleria: a tortilla shop that provides at-cost tortillas to anyone in the community.This investment<br />
transforms lives. For their tortillas recipe visit: fairtrd.us/tortilleria.<br />
