We aim to present each line of work with verbal, numerical and audio-visual means so that each person can better evaluate the price to be paid for the work done to produce a consumer good.
One good example to start with could be to illustrate the work perfomed to make a cup of coffee, since the coffee farmers are paid starving wages for their work unless they are enrolled in a fair trade contract.
An example where much work has been done already is cocoa since there is a Cocoa Protocol to which the world's producers are already agreed. This is to wipe out slavery in that industry. Many people think that the Cocoa Protocol is the best prototype for how to bring up labour standards everywhere for every food commodity, eventually.
