2 billion people in the world live on less than $2 a day. But how can we fight global poverty? Through fair trade! The moment we sip our coffee in the morning, we are participating in the global economy. Consumers rule the world. Through supply & demand, consumers decide exactly what is for sale by businesses. But with great power comes great responsibility. Consumers can demand how products are made, too. Everyday purchases should be an extension of our values. Empower producers through fair trade. Educate, support, & shop! Consumerism doesn’t have to be a bad thing. Stand for fairness. Join the movement.

Fairtrade-Kaffee trinken – und damit die Welt verbessern. Das ist das Versprechen des Fairtrade-Siegels. Und dafür kämpft Dieter Overath. Er hat den gemeinnützigen Verein TransFair in Deutschland mitaufgebaut. Sein Ziel: die Arbeitsbedingungen für Bauern und Arbeiter verbessern, faire Löhne zahlen und soziale Projekte schaffen.
Dieter Overath
Als Dieter Overath 1992 den Job als Geschäftsführer bei einer Arbeitsgemeinschaft von Kleinbauern antritt, sind die Perspektiven eher schlecht. Die "AG Kleinbauernkaffee" steht noch ganz am Anfang. Dennoch schafft es Overath in den folgenden Jahren, fair gehandelten Kaffee und später auch andere Produkte in Deutschland zu etablieren. TransFair e.V. – wie der Verein inzwischen heißt – vergibt das wohl bekannteste Siegel für fairen Handel: das Fairtrade-Siegel. Und die Nachfrage steigt: In 36.000 Geschäften und 18.000 gastronomischen Betrieben kann man Fairtrade-Produkte inzwischen kaufen.
Monika Vogelpohl
Fairtrade gehört zu den Arbeitsschwerpunkten der Ernährungswissenschaftlerin von der Verbraucherzentrale Nordrhein-Westfalen. Im April 2015 nahm Monika Vogelpohl an Gesprächen zwischen den Verbraucherzentralen und TransFair teil. Hintergrund war die Kritik der Verbraucherzentralen, dass auf Fairtrade-Produkten der Mengenausgleich und die Mindestangaben nicht offensichtlich gekennzeichnet sind. In Zukunft sollen die Verbraucherzentralen an Überlegungen einer neuen Siegelarchitektonik bei Transfair beteiligt sein. Monika Vogelpohl unterstützt im Grundsatz den fairen Handel. Sie möchte jedoch mehr Transparenz für die Verbraucher erreichen.

Elizabeth, an Everyday Economics viewer, asks: “How does the purchase of fair-trade goods affect wages in developing countries?”
Great question! The “fair trade” movement has become popular as a proposed way to increase living standards in developing countries. In this video, we look at whether fair trade does just that.
For a good to be considered “fair trade” it must meet various requirements developed by a handful of fair trade organizations. In the developing world, who is better positioned to meet these fair trade requirements — large producers in wealthier countries or small producers in poorer countries? To answer this question, we take a look at the the example of fair trade coffee produced in both Costa Rica and Ethiopia. How does fair trade affect wages and overall quality of life in those countries?
And, if fair trade isn’t the best way to improve living standards in developing countries, how else can we maximize employment options and well-being for poor workers? This question is at the core of an entire branch of economics — Development Economics. To learn more, check out MRU’s Development Economics course.

In 2012 we're asking everyone to Take a Step for Fairtrade.
It can be a simple step, like swapping your tea to Fairtrade, or a bigger step, like asking everyone in your office to do it too.
You'll be joining thousands of others all over the UK when you take a step for Fairtrade. Make it as inventive, daring, funny or messy as you like. Every step counts for millions of farmers, workers and their communities in developing countries who urgently need a better deal from trade.
Visit www.fairtrade.org.uk/step to add your step to our marvellous 'step-o-meter'!
You'll be able to see the steps others are taking and find out where all these steps will lead.
Take a step for Fairtrade in 2012 begins with Fairtrade Fortnight from
27 February - 11 March 2012.

"Fair Trade is all about improving lives, but we don't do that through charity- there are no hand outs in the Fair Trade world." - Paul Rice, President and CEO of Fair Trade USA
Through Fair Trade certification not only do farmers earn a higher price for their goods, they also receive an additional premium fund for community development projects. These funds are used for things like building schools, health care clinics and clean water wells, as well as for home loans, scholarships and transportation. Fair Trade empowers communities to take their futures into their own hands.

Fair trade vs. Free trade http://fairworldproject.org
Wouldn't it be great if public policies benefited the public, so everyone could prosper, and so-called "free trade agreements" valued our precious resources rather than exploiting people and the planet? As consumers, we have the power to vote with our dollars, as well as to engage in local and federal policy reform in order to help change and transform our global economy to protect our people and planet. In January 2014, the Camp-Baucus "Fast Track" legislation was introduced, that would have allowed President Obama to vote on free trade agreements like the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) and Trans-Atlantic Free Trade Agreement (TAFTA) without a full and open debate. This was concerning not only because such an arrangement is an affront to democracy, but also because the specific provisions in these agreements are expected to have negative impacts on farmers, workers, consumers, the environment, and public health world-wide and more time and care is needed to create trade policies that work for people.

Fair trade is an organized social movement and market-based approach that aims to help producers in developing countries to make better trading conditions and promote sustainability. The movement advocates the payment of a higher price to exporters as well as higher social and environmental standards. It focuses in particular on exports from developing countries to developed countries, most notably handicrafts, coffee, cocoa, sugar, tea, bananas, honey, cotton, wine, fresh fruit, chocolate, flowers, and gold. Fair trade is also associated with the trade justice movement, which advocates for fair trade public policies. There are several recognized fair trade certifiers, including Fairtrade International (formerly called FLO/Fairtrade Labelling Organizations International), IMO and Eco-Social. Additionally, FairTradeUSA, formerly a licensing agency for the Fairtrade International label, broke from the system and is implementing its own fair trade labelling scheme, which has resulted in controversy due to its inclusion of independent smallholders (selling via contract production) and estates for all crops.

The Fair Trade Shell Game
Fair trade is supposed to help coffee growers avoid exploitation and receive a better price for their coffee -- which sounds great in theory. But as the coffee buyer has become more sophisticated, fair trade certification hasn't followed suit, and no longer offers farmers the best deal in terms of bang for their bean. Coffee consumers are willing to pay more than ever for a quality cup of joe. The problem is this: Fair Trade doesn't guarantee a quality bean. Growers could often make more money (many multiples of the basic price) by producing higher quality beans and selling them directly into the more profitable specialty market.

Global Journalist: Is Fair Trade really fair?
You see the label on coffee, chocolate, t-shirts and even gold, “Fair Trade.” The extra dollars you pay for the products are meant to guarantee they’re produced ethically and sustainably. And that the farmers and workers who produced them are justly compensated. What began as a humble effort by a few churches and activists a half a century ago to help people in the developing world has grown into a multibillion dollar industry. But the movement has attracted critics, who say the label today is mostly marketing that benefits companies in Europe and the U.S. On today’s edition of Global Journalist, a look at the growth of the Fair Trade movement, and how well it’s achieving its goals.

Why Fairtrade?
What is Fairtrade? It's sometimes more expensive - why should we pay more? What's the point? Well, Fairtrade gives people enables people to earn a wage that is fair - that is theirs by right. In fact, every time you don't buy Fairtrade when there is an option to do so, you are likely endorsing UNfair trade. I think all of us can see the moral injustice in this. Watch and see what you think... Rant over, hope you enjoy! The song is 'Dragostea Din Tei' by O-Zone. Ratings and comments are greatly welcomed!

2 billion people in the world live on less than $2 a day. But how can we fight global poverty? Through fair trade! The moment we sip our coffee in the morning, we are participating in the global economy. Consumers rule the world. Through supply & demand, consumers decide exactly what is for sale by businesses. But with great power comes great responsibility. Consumers can demand how products are made, too. Everyday purchases should be an extension of our values. Empower producers through fair trade. Educate, support, & shop! Consumerism doesn’t have to be a bad thing. Stand for fairness. Join the movement.
Benjamin Conard is a junior Business Administration major and German minor at SUNY Geneseo. He is the founder & president of the Fair Trade Club on campus, the Student Chair on the National Steering Committee for Fair Trade Colleges & Universities, and a Communications Intern for the World Fair Trade Organization. In his spare time, Ben like to juggle & unicycle around campus.

Fairtrade-Kaffee trinken – und damit die Welt verbessern. Das ist das Versprechen des Fairtrade-Siegels. Und dafür kämpft Dieter Overath. Er hat den gemeinnützigen Verein TransFair in Deutschland mitaufgebaut. Sein Ziel: die Arbeitsbedingungen für Bauern und Arbeiter verbessern, faire Löhne zahlen und soziale Projekte schaffen.
Dieter Overath
Als Dieter Overath 1992 den Job als Geschäftsführer bei einer Arbeitsgemeinschaft von Kleinbauern antritt, sind die Perspektiven eher schlecht. Die "AG Kleinbauernkaffee" steht noch ganz am Anfang. Dennoch schafft es Overath in den folgenden Jahren, fair gehandelten Kaffee und später auch andere Produkte in Deutschland zu etablieren. TransFair e.V. – wie der Verein inzwischen heißt – vergibt das wohl bekannteste Siegel für fairen Handel: das Fairtrade-Siegel. Und die Nachfrage steigt: In 36.000 Geschäften und 18.000 gastronomischen Betrieben kann man Fairtrade-Produkte inzwischen kaufen.
Monika Vogelpohl
Fairtrade gehört zu den Arbeitsschwerpunkten der Ernährungswissenschaftlerin von der Verbraucherzentrale Nordrhein-Westfalen. Im April 2015 nahm Monika Vogelpohl an Gesprächen zwischen den Verbraucherzentralen und TransFair teil. Hintergrund war die Kritik der Verbraucherzentralen, dass auf Fairtrade-Produkten der Mengenausgleich und die Mindestangaben nicht offensichtlich gekennzeichnet sind. In Zukunft sollen die Verbraucherzentralen an Überlegungen einer neuen Siegelarchitektonik bei Transfair beteiligt sein. Monika Vogelpohl unterstützt im Grundsatz den fairen Handel. Sie möchte jedoch mehr Transparenz für die Verbraucher erreichen.

Elizabeth, an Everyday Economics viewer, asks: “How does the purchase of fair-trade goods affect wages in developing countries?”
Great question! The “fair trade” movement has become popular as a proposed way to increase living standards in developing countries. In this video, we look at whether fair trade does just that.
For a good to be considered “fair trade” it must meet various requirements developed by a handful of fair trade organizations. In the developing world, who is better positioned to meet these fair trade requirements — large producers in wealthier countries or small producers in poorer countries? To answer this question, we take a look at the the example of fair trade coffee produced in both Costa Rica and Ethiopia. How does fair trade affect wages and overall quality of life in those countries?
And, if fair trade isn’t the best way to improve living standards in developing countries, how else can we maximize employment options and well-being for poor workers? This question is at the core of an entire branch of economics — Development Economics. To learn more, check out MRU’s Development Economics course.

Through Fair Trade certification not only do farmers earn a higher price for their goods, they also receive an additional premium fund for community development projects. These funds are used for things like building schools, health care clinics and clean water wells, as well as for home loans, scholarships and transportation. Fair Trade empowers communities to take their futures into their own hands.

Fair trade vs. Free trade http://fairworldproject.org
Wouldn't it be great if public policies benefited the public, so everyone could prosper, and so-called "free trade agreements" valued our precious resources rather than exploiting people and the planet? As consumers, we have the power to vote with our dollars, as well as to engage in local and federal policy reform in order to help change and transform our global economy to protect our people and planet. In January 2014, the Camp-Baucus "Fast Track" legislation was introduced, that would have allowed President Obama to vote on free trade agreements like the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) and Trans-Atlantic Free Trade Agreement (TAFTA) without a full and open debate. This was concerning not only because such an arrangement is an affront to democracy, but also because the specific provisions in these agreements are expected to have negative impacts on farmers, workers, consumers, the environment, and public health world-wide and more time and care is needed to create trade policies that work for people.

Fair trade is supposed to help coffee growers avoid exploitation and receive a better price for their coffee -- which sounds great in theory. But as the coffee buyer has become more sophisticated, fair trade certification hasn't followed suit, and no longer offers farmers the best deal in terms of bang for their bean. Coffee consumers are willing to pay more than ever for a quality cup of joe. The problem is this: Fair Trade doesn't guarantee a quality bean. Growers could often make more money (many multiples of the basic price) by producing higher quality beans and selling them directly into the more profitable specialty market.

You see the label on coffee, chocolate, t-shirts and even gold, “Fair Trade.”
The extra dollars you pay for the products are meant to guarantee they’re produced ethically and sustainably. And that the farmers and workers who produced them are justly compensated.
What began as a humble effort by a few churches and activists a half a century ago to help people in the developing world has grown into a multibillion dollar industry. But the movement has attracted critics, who say the label today is mostly marketing that benefits companies in Europe and the U.S.
On today’s edition of Global Journalist, a look at the growth of the Fair Trade movement, and how well it’s achieving its goals.
Our guests this week:
*Christopher Cramer, a professor of political economy at the School of Oriental and African Studies at the University of London
*Rob Everts, co-director of Equal Exchange, a co-operative fair trade company that sells coffee, cocoa and other fair trade products
*Poul Mark, founder of Transcend Coffee, a coffee roasting company and distributor in Canada

What is Fairtrade? It's sometimes more expensive - why should we pay more? What's the point? Well, Fairtrade gives people enables people to earn a wage that is fair - that is theirs by right. In fact, every time you don't buy Fairtrade when there is an option to do so, you are likely endorsing UNfair trade. I think all of us can see the moral injustice in this.
