Fair Trade Directory Fair Trade Directory Southeastern Wisconsin Brought to you by: Four Corners of the World Fair Trade Store, Milwaukee Milwaukee Fair Trade Coalition Why Shop for Fair Trade Products? The interest in Fair Trade has grown far beyond the lead products of coffee, chocolate and tea during the past several years. Consumers are advocating for a just economic system in which farmers and artisans, the producers of the goods we purchase, are paid a living wage. Fair Trade is a system in which a fair price is paid at each link in the distribution chain. This Directory has been developed so that you will have less difficulty in finding businesses which carry Fair Trade products. You will note that there are many cafes and restaurants in Southeastern Wisconsin which serve Fair Trade coffee. But there are also many other shops featuring Fair Trade foods, gifts and even sweatshop free clothing. New to this edition of the Directory, we have added a variety of companies that sell sustainable and fair trade clothing online for even more ways to shop responsibly.

Part of the Politics series on Progressivism Ideas • Idea of Progress • Scientific progress • Social progress • Economic development • Technological change • Linear history History • Enlightenment • Industrial revolution • Modernity • Politics portal • v • t [1] • e Fair trade is an organized social movement that aims to help producers in developing countries to make better trading conditions and promote sustainability. It 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,[2] fresh fruit, chocolate, flowers, and gold.[3] Fair Trade is a trading partnership, based on dialogue, transparency and respect that seek 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.[4] There are several recognized Fairtrade certifiers, including Fairtrade International (formerly called FLO/Fairtrade Labelling Organizations International), IMO and Eco-Social.

  • Annual Report 2003-04
    annual report 03|04 Fairtrade Labelling Organizations International Shopping for a better world Shopping… ANNUAL REPORT 2003 | 2004 8 Last January, Switzerlandʼs second largest supermarket chain and leading distributor of Fairtrade labelled products decided that henceforth, it would sell only Fairtrade-labelled bananas. The year before, McDonaldʼs in Switzerland started selling Fairtrade coffee in all its outlets. At around the same time on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, Dunkinʼ Donuts, Americansʼ default address for take-out breakfast, joined Fairtrade, followed a few months later by the worldʼs largest grocery producer Proctor & Gamble. In the ensuing months, Europeʼs biggest supplier to canteens and restaurants signed up to Fairtrade. Instead of talking about companiesʼ increasing participation in Fairtrade however, I must salute the driving force behind it: consumers who care. Consumers who want the worldʼs disadvantaged producers to have a chance to realize their dreams of a decent living by purchasing Fairtrade products. These consumers are the real reason behind the more than 40% growth of Fairtrade labelled products in 2003 – compared to +21% in 2002. To assure consumers that their money really reaches those that need it most, and that this money is actually invested in sustain- able development, major companies are following the example of World Shops, church groups and thousands of other pioneers of Fair Trade by using a Fairtrade label such as “Max Havelaar”, “Transfair”, or national Fairtrade labels that provide an independent guarantee to all claims made. This guarantee is provided by FLO (Fairtrade Labelling Organisations International). FLO is a world-wide network of producers, trading companies and national labelling initiatives that sets Fairtrade standards and provides Fairtrade certification and trade auditing.

    Collaboratively Developing a Web site with Artists in Cajamarca, Peru: A Participatory Action Research Study Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Amanda S. Alexander, M.A. Graduate Program in Art Education The Ohio State University 2010 Dissertation Committee: Dr. James H. Sanders, III Dr. Patricia Stuhr Dr. Karen Hutzel Maria Palazzi Copyrighted by Amanda S. Alexander 2010 ABSTRACT This study considers the collaborative processes developed in creating a Web site with the Colors and Creations cooperative of artists in Cajamarca, Peru. Working through a participatory action research methodology, the study employed autoethnographic methods, “make” sessions and narrative research facilitating the emergence of participant stories about the collaborative process. These participants include nine artists from Cajamarca, Peru; Lisa Fousek, an undergraduate Visual Communications and Design student; anonymous Web users from the United States and Peru; and myself as researcher. Additional collaborators include Web Developer Brian Hill and Research Assistant Ryan Johnston. The study is grounded in critical and postcolonial theories and decolonizing methods that set the stage for the collaborative process. After reconsidering literature on non-governmental organizations’ work with indigenous populations, exporters, entrepreneurs, businesses, and Fair Trade organizations working with artists in Peru, I review similar studies conducted in other developing nations and projects using participatory action research. Based on empirical observation, field notes, participant’s journals, surveys, interviews and “make” sessions, several significant themes emerged; those revolving ii around issues of trust within the group, international economic policy issues (dis)serving the development of direct trade with artists through online selling, challenges surrounding international shipping, and language.

  • Strategic Planning
    STRATEGIC PLAN 2017-2027 RWANDAN FORUM FOR ALTERNATIVE TRADE Compiled by Wim Troosters November 2016 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The development of the strategic plan signals the start of a new era for RWAFAT. The plan has been formulated during a consultative process from January until October 2016, including a participatory workshop hosted on the 18th of August in Kigali. The overall methodology of the strategic planning process is based on four (4) basic but fundamental questions: Where are we now?, Where do we want to go?, How are we going to get there? and finally, How are we going to monitor our progress?. By answering these questions we have been able to better understand our organisation and the environment we work in and there from we have crafted a new path for the future of our organisation. We are sincerely confident that by delivering on our vision and mission statement we, as well as our beneficiaries, will grow and prosper for many years to come. Were are we now? The first part of the strategic plan is essential in order for the organisation to understand its internal and external environment and to establish a clear long term vision and mission for a period of 10 years (2017-2026). We start off with a context analysis which provides a clear formulation of the fair trade sector and its different approaches, including an overview of its most important stakeholders. In order to shape our long term strategy, a thorough analysis of both the external and internal environment of the organisation is necessary. The evaluation of the external environment is based on a the PESTEL approach, which consists of an analysis of the political, legal, economical, social, technological, environmental and demographic macro trends.

  • Social Movement Lessons from the Fair Trade Movement
    Social Movement Lessons from the Fair Trade Movement Jamie Harris April 1, 2021 © 2021 Sentience Institute Edited by Kelly McNamara. Many thanks to the researchers who provided feedback or checked the citations of their work: Matthew Anderson, William Low, Sushil Mohan, Margaret Levi, Mark Hudson, and Geoff Moore. Abstract This report aims to assess (1) the extent to which the international Fair Trade movement, especially from 1964 to the present, can be said to have successfully achieved its goals, (2) what factors caused the various successes and failures of this movement, and (3) what these findings suggest about how modern social movements should strategize. The analysis highlights strategic implications for a variety of movements, especially those focused on moral circle expansion. Key findings of this report include that engaging directly with mainstream market institutions and dynamics can enable a social movement to influence consumer behavior much more rapidly than efforts to build “alternative” supply chains, though such mainstream engagement may also lead to co-option and a lowering of standards; and social movements may need to prioritize strategies to resist pressure from private sector businesses to weaken the standards of certified products.
