Webinar with Oxfam Sweden

The prices farmers around the world receive are often too low to enable them to earn a living income. This Oxfam webinar will explore how companies can become an active part in closing the living income gap by paying fairer prices to small-scale farmers in global food supply chains.

We will present experiences from a pilot in which Swedish retailer Axfood and Norwegian wholesaler Unil paid a premium to support small-scale Basmati rice farmers in Pakistan. We will discuss key lessons learned and also hear from companies who were involved.

• How can we reshape food supply chains to that everyone involved may profit
• What is the business case and collective benefits of pursuing fairer prices and a living income?
• What are the challenges companies need to overcome to pay fairer prices to farmers?

Confirmed speakers:
Ms. Mira Alestig, Lead Researcher Food & Climate, Oxfam Sweden
Mr. Shahid Tarer, Director, Galaxy Rice Mills
Ms. Kristina Areskog Bjurling, Sustainability Manager, Axfood

Moderator: Mr. Uwe Gneiting, Private Sector Senior Researcher, Oxfam America
