Fair Trade Panel at Let's Talk Coffee
At Let's Talk Coffee, we invited leaders from the Fair Trade movement in North America, Europe, and Latin America to discuss the separation of Fair Trade USA and Fairtrade International and provide information for their stakeholders – from the smallholder coffee producers to the retailers who sell Fair Trade certified coffee to consumers.
Above, we have posted the questions that the Let's Talk Coffee audience posed to the leaders from Fair Trade USA, Fairtrade Canada, Fair Trade International Labelling Organizations (FLO), and the CLAC.
Below is the video from the panel discussion, featuring:
