I used to think “ethical sourcing” was just branding… then i saw it IRL
I always assumed “ethically sourced / fair trade” was mostly just marketing to justify higher prices.
I am in ghana for tetr college, and I recently visited a chocolate company, and it kinda changed that. Seeing the whole chain, farmers → processing → final product, made me realise how much of the story we just never see as consumers.
But now I’m confused: does this actually matter in real buying decisions… or is it still just a “nice story” that sounds good but doesn’t change behaviour? #local
