CoffeeGeek - TransFair USA Celebrates Fair Trade Month with Chefs, Farmers and Retailers ()

  „Fair Trade is an innovative, market-based approach to sustainable development. Fair Trade helps family farmers in developing countries gain direct access to international markets, as well as develop the business capacity necessary to compete in the global marketplace. By learning how to market their own harvests, Fair Trade farmers are able to bootstrap their own businesses and receive a fair price for their top-quality products. This leads to higher family living standards, thriving communities and more sustainable farming practices.“

CoffeeGeek - SCAA Anaheim Last Day Report CoffeeGeek - SCAA Anaheim Last Day Report

  „But, the show went on, and I went about the floor. I stopped by the Fair Trade pavilion once again, and this time I met Kenya Lewis, the PR Manager for TransFair USA (website ) and we briefly discussed Fair Trade coffee and its impact on farmers' lives. Now, I'm one who believes the Fair Trade Certification process is far from perfect, but it's the best the industry has, and I'm sure the folks involved in it want it to be as good as possible, because the real mission is simple - give farmers a living wage for the product we enjoy so much. Kenya is a wonderful person, and I could tell from our brief conversation she's a concerned activist for this cause.“
