OVERVIEW

Fairtrade is an alternative approach to conventional trade and is based on a partnership between producers and consumers. Fairtrade offers producers a better deal and improved terms of trade. This allows them the opportunity to improve their lives and plan for their future. Fairtrade offers consumers a powerful way to reduce poverty through their everyday shopping.

For the latter, we focus on Fairtrade's impact at scale and seek new forms of collaboration, new platforms for learning and spreading what works, new ways to measure to innovate, and new types of impact services in projects and programs.
