By investing in the exquisitely beautiful, hand-crafted and great tasting agricultural fair trade certified products sold at Planetary Nations you can assist in creating a better world for all humanity. It has never been more important to purchase fair trade products then it is today. Over 1 billion people live on less than $1 a day; global farm producer incomes are decreasing while consumer prices and agribusiness profits increase; and the richest 20% of the world consume over 75% of the worlds resources. Fair Trade Federation assists in providing economically disadvantaged international artisans and agriculturalists better working conditions by certifying producers that abide by their 9 guidelines which include fair and equitable business practices and non child labor. Once the producers are certified their goods are then sold to retailers and wholesalers that purchase the goods directly and resell them to the public. Therefore, the money that you spend all goes to assisting people in need. Even if you do not contribute to purchasing goods from this site, please take the time to educate yourself by previewing its educational resources. |
