You've heard the term 'fair trade' but do you know what it means? Organic food expert and environmentalist Anna Lappe explains why she believes it's important to buy fair trade coffee, and how to find it.

How to buy fair trade coffee

What is fair trade coffee?
* Basically, fair trade means the farmer who produced the product got a fair price for it. This is very important for the livelihood of coffee farmers. Millions of coffee farmers can barely feed their families because they get almost no money for their coffee beans unless its fair trade.

* How do you find it? Look for the black and white fair trade logo which is marked on all fair trade coffee and fair trade coffee beans at every Starbucks, although you may have to ask for it.

* Supermarkets are beginning to carry it as well, in many cases. If you dont find it, ask your grocer for it. Sometimes it just takes some customer requests.

Every time you buy a fair trade coffee beans you can feel good knowing that you're contributing to farming communities around the planet.

@kwame1215 furthermore, the for-profit coffee corporations don't espouse fair trade goals or values because they legally can't (otherwise they would as it would be good publicity and would be a reason they could jack their prices 20 cents or so) and if they did they would have to become part of the aforementioned international governing bodies and would be reviewed on fair trade practices. in short they would end up making far less so they aren't fair trade. you don't go fair trade to makeprofit

@kwame1215 do some research on the subject before you dismiss it to make yourself feel better for not buying fair trade (it's about 20 cents more). there are several international governing bodies on fair trade that work in a collaborative manner to organize fair trade as well as guarantee it is actually helping farmers involved. What's the alternative? buying from huge corporations that don't give a fuck about farmers but pay cheapest wage possible to maximize revenue.

I heard the farmer has to pay $4000 per year for fairtrade certification. That doesnt sound fair already.
