Fair Trade (concept)

Fair Trade is an ethical certification system that ensures producers, often in developing countries, receive fair compensation for their goods, such as coffee, chocolate, or crafts. It promotes equitable trading practices, paying fair prices, supporting sustainable farming, and encouraging environmentally friendly methods. Fair Trade also emphasizes fair wages, workers’ rights, and community development. By purchasing Fair Trade products, consumers help empower marginalized producers, improve their living standards, and foster economic stability while promoting ethical and sustainable international trade practices.
