What is the future of Fair Trade?

Sam Bills (Manager) gives expert video advice on: What are the main goals of the Fair Trade movement?; What is the difference between 'free trade' and 'Fair Trade'?; How can Fair Trade affect the global 'coffee' market? and more...

There's a variety of directions of where Fair Trade is headed and what the future of Fair Trade will look like. I think that Fair Trade is already growing in popularity, and I think that you can expect, in the future, to hear more about Fair Trade and to see more Fair Trade options. I'm always excited to see Fair Trade options becoming available in some unlikely places. Sometimes companies that haven't been known to talk about Fair Trade issues, find a great product that they want to sell in their store, and that's a Fair Trade product. I think you'll see some of that, products that are just appearing in the mainstream as Fair Trade products because they're just really great products that businesses want to sell. I also think that you'll see the growth of Fair Trade businesses that are telling the stories of artisans from around the world and selling their great handmade stuff. As businesses like that have become more and more popular, its evident that its something that people want, and I think in the future well see the growth of those kinds of organizations.
