The municipality of Boutersem supports the campaign and invites all residents to register at www.sweetrevolution.be. Participants will receive a series of inspiring dessert recipes made with Fairtrade, organic, and local ingredients, presented as a 'truly delicious' way to give extra meaning to enjoyment moments.
The campaign highlights the importance of combining Fairtrade, organic, and local. Food choices have a significant impact on people and the planet. Fairtrade stands for economic, social, and ecological justice for farmers in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Organic farming protects the natural environment and helps combat climate change. Local products strengthen the economy and community of the region and reduce the ecological footprint.
By cleverly combining these three elements, consumers can opt for food that is good for themselves, the climate, and the people behind their products. The message is that every action counts and that choosing the 'perfect trio' during your next grocery shopping can make a difference during the Sweet Revolution.
The 'Sweet Revolution' aims to show that a system can be changed even with desserts, that small gestures can have an impact, and that more conscious consumption can be a pleasant way to support fair and sustainable trade.
The Week of Fair Trade runs from October 7 to October 18, 2026, and takes place throughout Flanders, including in Boutersem.
