To mark #WorldFoodDay, we’re calling on the UK Government to make sure new deforestation laws work with farmers, not against them.⁠

More Trump tariffs are on their way: with unrealistic and unfair demands brought upon countries including Bangladesh - which has been hit with a 35% tariff.

The UK Government must stand with the Global South and support trade justice.

Trade democracy is common sense - but currently, the UK Parliament has no guaranteed right to debate or vote on deals - and the current government is yet to set out its trade strategy.

We unpack all this and more in our latest blog: www.transform-trade.org/blog/trump-t...

Trade democracy means having full democratic oversight of trade deals and policies- and it's currently something the UK lacks.

We've unpacked the tariff chaos and the need for scrutiny on both sides of the pond in our latest blog post: www.transform-trade.org/blog/trump-t...

Our campaign to get damaging UPOV91 seed laws out of UK trade deals is growing steadily.⁠

In north-west Bangladesh we're supporting communities to set up 100 women-owned convenience stores.

The shops sell products usually hard to find in rural areas, as well as providing employment and a safe space for women to meet together outside the home.
