Fair Trade is a market based approach to alleviating global poverty and promoting sustainability. It is an alternative economic and trading system that connects all stakeholders: from the producer, to the importer/wholesaler, to the retailer, to the end-customer.

Handmade Expressions has created this section as a reservoir of Fair Trade Information for anyone involved in the value-chain of Fair Trade. It is divided into the following areas:

• Learn It – Educating Yourself About Fair Trade
• Start It – How to Run Your Own Fair Trade Business
• Live It – Incorporating Fair Trade Into Your Life
• Current Events
• Media (some video clips about Fair Trade)

You can navigate around this information using the links on the right had side of the screen, or our drop down menus at the top under “About Fair Trade”. We hope you find this information useful. If you would like to know more or discuss, please contact us at marketing@handmadeexpressions.net.
