Have you ever thought about where the food you eat comes from?
Or how the people who produce it live?
Many of the fruits and vegetables we now eat are flown in from
countries all around the world.
This means we can eat a wide variety of fresh food throughout the
year, and try foods that are not grown in our own country.
But many poor farmers make very little from the crops they grow:
they are not paid enough to cover the cost of production, or to
give them enough to live on.

of poor farmers
