What’s behind the banana, the flowers, or the chocolate you buy every day? In the new episode of the Podcast Full of Life, we explore the stories behind everyday products and their impact on the lives of people in the Global South. Our guest is Ing. Jiří Hejkrlík, Ph.D., the academic coordinator of the Bachelor’s programme ICARD and one of the main founders of the Fairtrade Czech Republic and Slovakia. He was directly involved in signing a key agreement with Fairtrade International in Bonn, Germany.
In this conversation, you'll learn why the origin of food matters more than we might think and what stories lie behind every sip of fairly sourced coffee. Jiří Hejkrlík also shares the important role the Faculty of Tropical AgriSciences plays in promoting sustainable practices and global responsibility. Find out how your everyday choices can influence the world – even something as simple as your coffee selection.
