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:

• General Fair Trade information (such as the definition, FAQ, history, among other topics)
• Fair Trade trends and lifestyle (information on how Fair Trade can be a part of your life)
• How to start and run a Fair Trade Business
• Fair Trade Directory (over 50 links to other Fair Trade resources)
• Fair Trade Current Events
• Fair Trade Media (numerous 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.
