Schilde is participating in the Week of Fair Trade, taking place from October 7 to 18, 2026. The municipality is inviting its residents to join the 'Sweet Revolution', a campaign focused on making conscious choices for sweet products.
This second edition of the 'Sweet Revolution' highlights the importance of ingredients that are Fairtrade, organic, and local. The aim is to contribute to a fairer world in a tasty way, respecting farmers, nature, and health.
The campaign encourages rediscovering the joy of cooking and baking with products that are economically, socially, and ecologically just for producers worldwide. Local ingredients also help reduce 'food miles'.
Those who wish to participate can receive inspiring dessert recipes directly via the website www.sweetrevolution.be. Participants are encouraged to start baking with Fairtrade, organic, and local ingredients.
