Fair trade is
a trading partnership, based
on dialogue,
transparency
and respect,
which 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 - especially in the
South. Fair
Trade organizations (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." definition
