What is Fair Trade?
Fair Trade is an alternative economic model that strives for global economic justice by honoring a fair price for products, fair wages and safe working conditions to workers, direct trade, environmental sustainability and community investment in developing countries worldwide. Fair trade initiatives aspire to build equitable trading relationships between consumers and the world’s most economically disadvantaged artisans and farmers.
