International Federation of Alternative Trade

The International Federation of Alternative Trade (IFAT) is an organization that supports fair and sustainable trading practices, mainly for small-scale producers and small businesses in developing countries. It promotes trade that benefits producers directly, ensuring ethical standards, fair wages, and environmentally friendly methods. By connecting these producers with international markets, IFAT helps them improve their livelihoods and maintain local traditions. Essentially, it advocates for fairer, more equitable trade systems that prioritize social responsibility and environmental sustainability over maximizing profits.
