The bridge between coffee consumers and the Specialty Coffee Industry

Make A Difference, Drink Fair Trade Coffee

This is an introduction, for a page I’ll be adding, to cover the wonderful benefits of Fair Trade.

What is Fair Trade?
It is a movement to help farmers in developing countries to promote sustainability, receive fair pay as well as better social and environmental standards.

So before you grab your cup of coffee in the morning, buy Fair Trade coffee for a great cause – the farmers.

Here is a video to help explain this a little better.

 

I also wrote a post about a great article I found discuss the hot debate on Fair Trade Certifications.
