Especially in agriculture, a lot of fair trade, even if it's not certified organic, is organic because it is grown in small scale farms and it's grown using methods that are environmentally sustainable. Using a bunch of chemicals or the kind of engineering of genetics that's behind the GMOs in some way violates some of the ideas of what fair trade is about. It is a side note in some ways, even as organic is important, but it's funny that some farms has grown, say Fredricks Coffee just haven't gotten the organic certification, because it is a sort of level of certification that costs money and other things. So, you have the assurance that things are naturally grown and chemicals are not used.
