The King of Thailand presented the hilltribes with agricultural alternatives to opium growing, including coffee plants. One indigenous tribe known as the Akha was the beneficiary of this scheme. A Canadian chose to back the Akha people 100% in this venture.Thanks to to his generosity in giving the growers a 50% share in the Canadian company, 'Fair Trade' has since evolved into 'Beyond Fair Trade'--a noteworthy business model to emulate in terms of sustainability and sound ethics.P.

[InvisiMan2006]

Vegan, organic, fair-trade - the only products we should be purchasing,

[MrRollerDutch]

@InvisiMan2006 Well....I agree with fair trade. Vegan and organic? Not so sure about that one.....

the unfortunate thing with fair trade products is that the big retailers probably still make the most profit out of it.

[HomunculusProject]

One of the real improvements in terms of how global business SHOULD work.

This is the turn our economic system is taking and it makes me proud as a human.

[Lucailey]

I was so proud of myself for choosing a fair trade product because I knew a little about this. Now, knowing more I will choose fair trade again!

[Razorvan]

Good work! This type of thinking should be expanded into every type of food. Everything we do to make this planet more sustainable helps the planet as a whole. We need to think as a global village, rather than as nation vs nation competitive rivals.

[ydoi004mmi]

Let us act for sustainable economy through Fair Trade!

[dan5166]

5 people are non fair trade coffee workers

[reg32123]

people from faaar faaar away are abused to grow food for us.... how can this be called fair trade? if you really want to help the world, then grow good quality food yourself. or at least buy food as locally grown as possible.

[hannibear625]

who could possibly dis like this?

[PeaceMouse17]

I absolutely Love Fair Trade- it is one of the greatest things out there to date- more people should know about it!

MAKE YOUR SCHOOL STAND FOR FAIR TRADE! Check out the FAIR TRADE UNIVERSITIES CAMPAIGN.

[Synochra]

Fairtrade is often just an expression.

Many of the "Fair Trade"-products are very often not fair traded.

Openyour eyes, don't believe everything you see in youtube videos >.>

Peole just buy their "Fair Trade"-products and think they would make he world better by doing so. But to make the world a better place for everyone, you need more engagement than just buying different things.

[Coolpatches]

My church youth group sells these products and i think what they are doing is amazing. Everyone deserves a fair pay for their hard work. (p.s. best coffee and chocolate i've ever had!<33)

[TheEyesOfNye]

So let me see if I understand this right. It's good for the companies because the increase of sales they get create a profit that outweighs the increase of costs by paying farmers more? Is that right?

[ElischebaWilde]

I love FAIRTRADE!

[CapitanoGUC]

fair trade is, when i as a consumer chose the produckt with the lowest price by same quality or the product with the higest qualety by same price.

[FairTradeGrocery]

What a great video!

[oJKBo]

free trade

[warminster100]

I was told that to pay workers the money to be able to send their children to school and to develop their communities, the plantation owners needed about $.10 - $.15 a pound more. I don't have a problem with that.

What I don't understand is why fair trade coffee costs $8 - $9 a pound while non-trade coffee sells for $4 a pound.

Where did the additional $4 a pound go? Anyone?

[canadiahung]

@warminster100

Production costs are cut by big manufacturers in more ways then just "education". Businesses have the ability to receive bulk discounts, often induce slave labor and spend multitudes on advert campaigns. These campaigns build a much larger market, providing MORE revenue at LOWER profits.

[xoxoKaiyaxoxo]

to good to be true!!

[Hockeyjason]

Vote with my dollar??? HAHAHAHHAHA

Capitalist markets with morals is a wolf in sheep's clothing.

The very act of measuring fair trade increases the costs. Therefore taking more money out of the farmers pockets.

The relationship between producer and consumer remains mediated by the market,

and the network remains ultimately confined by the imperatives of capitalism, which have limited and threaten to erode the cooperative values instilled within fair trade.

BACK AND TO THE LEFT!

[JSM9393]

0:45 INTRO SONG ANYBODY?

[pianojamcake]

Fairness and equality for all!

[nick2uch]

[DungeonSF]

[deedee1067]

Fairness and equal rights for all !

[Hadokenmaster]

Fairness and equal rights for all ! Quite right!

[dferriman]

People worry about 3rd world countries being affected by so-called "free trade" - and they should. What many do not realize it that "free trade" turns industrial countries into 3rd world countries. "Free trade" ONLY helps the rich. The U.S. has been destroyed by "free trade." Not the rich in the U.S., but the country as a whole. To learn more log on to Economy In Crisis

[ase010]

why only for small family's? why not for the whole wide world, so everyone can profit, life in balance & harmony, that will be a much better idea!

[sportswear]

dos everyone not think that by allowing the blacks more power they'll start taking our homes?

[Hadokenmaster]

But how can you say that? there are enough black states wich could - a long time - compete with us. and even though there's nothing we should care about . So WHAT'S your scrupulosity?

[Webkinzlovers6]

Nice movie! Do you guys know if LuLuLemon is fair trade? Thanks!

[banandababa]

I saw fairtrade wine made in CALIFORNIA. How does that work then? lol

[Qynox]

Californian breeds of grapes, cultivated in South Africa probably.

[sk8bow]

i really like this business model and it would be nice to see this style of doing business. big corporations cause more problems by creating the unbalanced distribution of wealth.

[BitingOsprey]

This is bullshit......trade is already fair.

What these do gooders want is not fair trade but for us to bend over and take it up the ass from them.

Buy British!

[Crisco770]

trade isn't fair when you have NAFTA and other organizations working against you.....I think the British are well off enough to not need coffee farming added to their economy. LOL!

[BitingOsprey]

Well we could always be a little more well off..........so Buy British!

[flowrt]

ye buy British bananas!

hahaha

[Rachel130989]

a lot of fairtrade products are actually the same price, if not less than products that aren't fairtrade. If you can afford to buy fairtrade products and you have somewhere nearby to buy them, you have no excuse not to.

[muenda843]

Muenda loves your gifts...a friend gave me a beautiful pair of earrings and i love them, i am happy they fair trade...empowerment from the ground up!!

[tastysalad]

higher supply = lower price

when too much of the product (food) is on the market,the price will collapse.then everyone can be poor! :D well,the farmers anyway.

[sarahroar]

this was cool, and it was great to learn about transfair usa. and the interviews with farmers was wonderful.

but fair trade doesn't only protect the farmer, it protects industrial workers who are paid low wage or are kept on false pretenses into an existence of slavery. Why wasn't this mentioned? Does transfair only focus on fair trade in agriculture?

[bigmammoth]

anything that can connect the asthetics of consumption to the means of production is a step in the right direction..

[leightoncooke]

Great video. Well made and positive.

[communitywork]

Yes it is a good video to share.

[themishaped]
