Why do you have fair trade?

Answer 1

We have fair trade so that all the communities in developing countries can earn a fair amount of money from producing crops. They also get decent working conditions, commitment from the buyers, local sustainability and fair terms of trade for the farmers and producers. We don't actually "need" fair trade, as you can buy your products from many other producers, but buying from fair trade helps to support your fellow human and recognize their basic rights. You are 'giving them a life' by supporting this organisation. Another reason for fair trade is that it helps the environment by halting deforestation for mass crop growing and it supports sustainable preparations that minimize our environmental footprint. Fair trade includes many cultures and sells products that are unique to the places they come from and the people who make them. Farmers and artisans are involved in the entire process, and fair trade tries to ensure that their products reflect the people and cultures they come from. We have fair trade so that we can support everyone in the world and give them an equal chance to survive. No one should be more important than anyone else and we should give them help to look after their families.
