25.01.2022 The Fair Trade Association is thrilled to once again be part of the Fair Trade Zone at the upcoming Australian Gift & Homewares Association (AGHA) - Home and Gi...ving Fair, at the Melbourne Showgrounds, 1 - 5 August. This national trade fair is the ideal way for retailers from across Australia to stock their stores with a huge variety of gorgeous, Fair Trade wares. Not only are Fair Trade goods unique and high quality, they also represent cultural crafts and traditional skills from around the globe. Buying Fair Trade means supporting disadvantaged producers to create better lives for themselves, their families, and their communities. Come say hello to us at Stand AF10 in the Avenue Pavilion, and take time to peruse the fabulous wares of the 20 fantastic Fair Trade stand-holders within the Fair Trade Zone. How to attend the fair?

04.01.2022 WFTO joins the Anti-Poverty Week global observance (11-17 October 2015) with the theme Break the Chains of Poverty, Be an Agent for Change, which will culmina...te on 17 October the UN International Day for the Eradication of Poverty. WFTO believes that Fair Trade is a tangible contribution to eradicating poverty. The injustices in conventional trade stem from the imbalances of power in the international negotiating table and supply chain. Small, disadvantaged producers are discriminated by large, influential players. The discrimination leaves many producers marginalised and unable to work their way out of poverty. WFTO and its members believe that trade should work for people and the environment, and not at their expense. The 10 Principles of Fair Trade are the fundamental philosophies established by WFTO members to guide their practices. WFTO prescribes these Principles to organisations as a way of fighting against trade injustices, discrimination, and poverty! Our call: Break the Chains of Poverty, Be an Agent for Change! Use our webapp to show the world you are An Agent for Change www.wfto.com/WFTDay/generator See more
