This week we want your questions on caffeine and Fairtrade. Our guest for this week's You Ask, They Answer is ethical coffee company Cafedirect. Created by Oxfam, Equal Exchange, Traidcraft and Twin Trading to lift coffee farmers out of poverty, the company was the first coffee brand to receive the Fairtrade Mark. Today it's the UK's largest Fairtrade hot drinks firm, working with 39 producer organisations across the world; over the past five years it invested £10.5m into the businesses of its coffee-growing partners.
Whatever you want to ask Cafedirect, here's your chance. Want to know more about how its Fairtrade policy and use of organic crops benefits farmers? How coffee farmers are adapting to climate change in Africa and beyond? What it thinks about multinationals such as Nestle branching into Fairtrade coffee?
Every day until the end of Friday this week, Cafedirect will be online here to answer your questions – get things started by posting yours below.
