FAIR
TRADE
RESOURCE
NETWORK |
Fair Trade empowers low-income
artisans and farmers around the globe to better their lives.
It is a movement that connects us to the people who grow our
food and make our clothes, changing the way we think about the
things we buy. If enough people engage in Fair Trade, it can
change the world.
To fuel this movement, we need
a space for education and dialogue around the issues. That's
where the Fair
Trade Resource Network comes in. FTRN helps you to Learn
Up about fair trade, Link Up to others in the movement, and Change
the World by taking action.
