So what exactly is this "Fair Trade" that you have been seeing everywhere? Fair Trade is an organized social movement that marketing approach that is rooted in the development of world-wide producers and promoting social and environmental sustainability. The Fair Trade movement advocates the payment of a fair price for goods, as well as fair social and environmental standards in various areas related to the production of many different goods. While there are a multitude of goods that can be purchased through fair trade, it most commonly focuses on things such as handicrafts, coffee, sugar, cocoa, tea, and many others. While simultaneously focusing on providing market access for marginalized producers and creating sustainable and equitable trading relationships, the Fair Trade partnership enforces desirable environmental standards that are reflected in the products released by its various producers.
