Why Fair trade?

I think it is crucial to understand why it is important to get involved in fair trade.
There are a number of reasons why but i found the following to be very significant.
- Payment of a fair wage.
- Economic Sustainability
- Creating opportunities for the marginalized.
By engaging in Fair Trade we the connect consumers to the producers and artisans who create the products we buy. This encourages us as consumers to think about where our products come from and what went into producing those products.
