Definition of Fair trade

• Fair Trade is a trading partnership, based on
  dialogue, transparency and respect, that seeks
  greater equity in international trade. It
  contributes to sustainable development by
  offering better trading conditions to, and
  securing the rights of, marginalized producers
  and workers especially in the South.
• Fair Trade organizations have a clear commitment
  to Fair Trade as the principal core of their
  mission. They, backed by consumers, are engaged
  actively in supporting producers, awareness
  raising and in campaigning for changes in the
  rules and practice of conventional international
  trade.
• Fair Trade is more than just trading it proves
  that greater justice in world trade is possible.
  It highlights the need for change in the rules
  and practice of conventional trade and shows how
  a successful business can also put people first.
