The Fair Trade Towns movement

The Fair Trade Towns movement is a global initiative encouraging communities to support fair trade practices by raising awareness and making local policies that prioritize ethically-sourced products. The goal is to promote equitable trading relationships, ensure fair wages, and improve working conditions for producers in developing countries. Communities achieve certification by meeting specific criteria, such as selling and promoting fair trade goods in local stores and events. This movement empowers consumers to make socially responsible choices, fostering sustainable development and economic justice through consumer demand and community action.
