#Fairtrade #Standards are evolving – help with your input
Fairtrade is evolving its Standards to remain effective, credible and practical in a #changing #environment. The changes respond to key challenges, including increasing complexity in Fairtrade Standards, rising regulatory demands, growing risks for producer organisations affecting their #productivity and #livelihoods; higher expectations from the market on how #companies address risk in their supply chains.

Another ecological good news story, this one from Kashmir India.
Ahmad, whose four brothers also depend on the lake for their livelihood, says that seeing the lotus bloom again feels like a dream come true. “We had lost all hope that it would ever return. Some in our community even took up other work, like labouring, to survive. But we waited,” he says.
“Our elders used to collect lotus stems from the lake and sell them in various markets across the valley, especially during special occasions,” he says.
“After the lotus disappeared, they turned to fishing, but that didn’t prove as sustainable. The return of the lotus has brought back hope.”

What made #GenghisKhan successful was ending the #genetics of those who were #honest about not believing in him as #leader, destroying #lives / #livelihoods, stealing their #wealth / #value, making #slaves but allowing #Freedom of #Religion, #RuleOfLaw, and #Democracy in the lower ranks. The failure of #Mongolia was due to the higher ranks being chosen through #loyalty and #family / #nepotism, and not enforcing #law on those higher ranks. Sound familiar?

#AI, open source or otherwise, is an existential threat to millions of people's #livelihoods.
Either we, as a #society, come up with a way that people can maintain or even improve their lives while working less...
or we'll end up in a #dystopian society where a few billionaires will have all the #manufacturing means forcing the rest of us to #beg, #steal and scrape together what little we can to buy daily #necessities from those same billionaires.

"Welcome to the #Sunak and #Starmer show and welcome to the next four, five, six or seven months of your life."
BBCI can reveal that neither of them will be presenting the policy choices that are needed in the face of multiple symptoms of systems #collapse.
Instead do take a look at and promote the #GettingReal policy portfolio.
