Fair Trade coffee, for instance, is grown by the indigenous peoples of the coffee growing region, the coffee is grown in a way that doesn't deplete their soil, and is bought at a price that guarantees a living wage to the growers. Sound good?
I have purchased fair trade shea butter but haven't seen fair trade foods at my local grocery store. I really need to buy foods grown locally, as much as possible, to avoid extra costs.
