Consumer story, portraying Mara, a US mum and a caring consumer living in Brooklyn.

"When I go food shopping ... it takes me so much time as I am reading little single thing on the label: where it was made, what’s in my food."

"Lately I have been more conscientious on finding out who is picking these plants for my essential oils. Are people over there getting paid anything... " "I tried to find products that are more conscientious about the environment and in turn, that really helps my skin."

 

Consumer story, portraying Catherine, a French citizen who runs three Biocoop, organic shops in Paris.  

"What is important for me is the relationship with all farmers ... our work will help to create businesses that share our values".
