Fair Trade \u00ab\u00a0What is it ?\u00a0\u00bb<\/em><\/h1>\n

Fair Trade is an alternative to the conventional trading system, in other words, the dominant world trade. It advocates the reduction of inequalities and thus the development and smooth functioning of the market for small producers. The ultimate goal is to enable them to improve their living conditions by becoming actors of their own development model. Beyond this economic aspect, fair trade also ensures respect for social, cultural and environmental rights.<\/p>\n

\u00ab\u00a0Fair Trade is a trading partnership, based on dialogue, transparency and respect, that seeks greater equity in international trade. It contributes to sustainable development by offering better trading conditions to, and securing the rights of, marginalized producers and workers \u2013 especially in the South. <\/em>Fair Trade organisations have a clear commitment to Fair Trade as the principal core of their mission. They, backed by consumers, are engaged actively in supporting producers, awareness raising and in campaigning for changes in the rules and practice of conventional international trade \u00a0\u00bb (Consensus FINE, 2001).<\/em><\/p>\n
