Description

 							
  
 
Fair Trade promises to raise living standards in developing countries through:
  
  - worldwide minimum prices
for commodities
  
  - support for democratically governed cooperatives
  
  - requirement of
minimum wages and safety standards for workers
  
  - training to help producers improved quality and develop
business skills
  
  - encouragement of eco-friendly practices
  
  - third-party certification
  
  In contrast to the free trade status quo, Fair Trade relies on informed consumers to choose more direct
supply chains that minimize the role of middlemen, offering economic justice and social change as a viable and
sustainable alternative to charity. But does it work?
  
  Fair Trade from the Ground Up documents
achievements at both the producer and the consumer ends of commodity chains and assesses prospects for future growth.
From Guatemalan coffee farmers to student activists on U.S. college campuses, the stories of individuals inform April
Linton's analysis. Drawing on studies by social scientists and economists, as well as on new case studies, she provides
balanced answers to hard questions: How can large institutions be persuaded to commit to using Fair Trade suppliers?
Does ethical consumerism work? Are the "social premiums" that are built into Fair Trade prices really being used for
community projects? Will Fair Trade market growth reach the scale of organics or green products? This book meets a
long-felt need among economic-justice activists, consumer groups, and academics for a reliable qualitative and
quantitative overview of achievements of the Fair Trade movement.
  
  "A great strength of this book is the
breadth of the original surveys of everyone from producers to business owners to activists and institutional players. I
don't know of any other work with such a broad assemblage of empirical pieces." -Matt Warning, University of Puget
Sound
  
  April Linton taught sociology at the University of California San Diego and now works for the Fair
Labor Association in Washington, DC. She is coeditor of The Global Governance of Food.
  
  Review
  ". .
. an intriguing and informational read for anyone who is involved or interested in the fair trade movement."
-Contemporary Sociology
  
  "Linton pulls back the curtain on the Fair Trade movement, and offers a
compelling look at the nuances that make up the Fair Trade effort, integrating individual stories with well-researched
analysis that is both astute and fair minded." -Paul Rice, President and CEO, Fair Trade USA
  
  "This book
makes some important, fresh contributions to assessing the impacts of Fair Trade for producers, and to learning from
advocacy efforts. While academics have done lots of case studies about Fair Trade, very few have begun synthesizing the
results of the scattered evidence and methodologies the way April Linton does." -Jeff Goldman, Executive Director, Fair
Trade Resource Network
  
  "In Fair Trade from the Ground Up April Linton brings together all the ingredients
that have made Fair Trade what it is today. Everyone who cares about a more just world-trade system, or simply a better
deal for the people who work to make the treats that we all enjoy every day, should read this book and help us to make
Fair Trade the norm in the USA." -Sophi Tranchell, Managing Director, Divine Chocolate Ltd.
