Basic Comment:
I've talked to well informed people in the environmental movement who regard the current fair trade regime as an economic "sideshow," probably because the smallest and poorest farmers don't have the funds or connections to obtain certification.The crucial issue in open markets is market access. Should we be talking about locally produced food as a better, more sustainable alternative? Is fair trade just another feel-good label to make consumers feel better? I don't want to believe that, but I'm not sure.
