Fair trade
Fair trade is about better prices, decent working conditions, local sustainability, and fair terms of trade for farmers and workers in the developing world. By requiring companies to pay sustainable prices that must never fall lower than the market price, Fair trade addresses the injustices of conventional trade, which traditionally discriminates against the poorest, weakest producers.
