Fairtrade - on the road with Hannes Jaenicke

The comeback of traditional cultivation is the reason for farmers finally being independent again. What’s more, it is also better for both human and nature. The soil has been able to recover in such a profound way that the yield is growing and growing, without application of any chemicals at all. By accompanying Teerawat and his colleagues during harvest, we get to know every day life in a typical Thai village. How did the rice farmers manage to overcome poverty? Precisely what role did fair trade take in this process? Apart from that, we also get to learn about ancient Buddhist rituals and the special meaning of rice for the Thai people.
