A Brief History of Fair Trade
From Charity to Autonomy and Justice
From: The Fair Trade Handbook
$1.20
This chapter examines the complex relationships between small producer organizations and Northern NGOs. It concludes with a brief account of the causes of the mission drift within the certifying bodies that restricted the ability of producer associations to exercise political and economic autonomy in pursuit of their development aspirations.
