What is Fair Trade International?
The Fair Trade movement is generally described as a global network of producers, traders, marketers, advocates and consumers focused on building equitable trading relationships between consumers and the world’s most economically disadvantaged artisans and farmers. Fair Trade International's goal is to expand that definition to include many goods, products and services that traditionally have been ignored by the established fair trade movement.
