But does it work? Fair Trade from the Ground Up documents achievements at both the producer and the consumer ends of commodity chains and assesses prospects for future growth. From Guatemalan coffee farmers to student activists on U.S. college campuses, the stories of individuals inform April Linton's analysis. Drawing on studies by social scientists and economists, as well as on new case studies, she provides balanced answers to hard questions: How can large institutions be persuaded to commit to using Fair Trade suppliers? Does ethical consumerism work? Are the "social premiums" that are built into Fair Trade prices really being used for community projects? Will Fair Trade market growth reach the scale of organics or green products? This book meets a long-felt need among economic-justice activists, consumer groups, and academics for a reliable qualitative and quantitative overview of achievements of the Fair Trade movement. "A great strength of this book is the breadth of the original surveys of everyone from producers to business owners to activists and institutional players. I don't know of any other work with such a broad assemblage of empirical pieces." -Matt Warning, University of Puget Sound. April Linton is Statistical Tools and Survey Manager at the Fair Labor Association. She is coeditor of The Global Governance of Food"--$$cProvided by publisher. 000454058 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000454058 650_0 $$aInternational trade. 000454058 650_0 $$aSocial justice. 000454058 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 000454058 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aLinton, April.$$tFair trade from the ground up.$$dSeattle : University of Washington Press, c2012$$z9780295991726$$w(DLC) 2012004003$$w(OCoLC)764323756 000454058 8520_ $$bacq 000454058 85280 $$bebk$$hEBSCOhost 000454058 85640 $$3EBSCOhost$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=481742$$zOnline Access 000454058 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:454058$$pGLOBAL_SET 000454058 980__ $$aEBOOK 000454058 980__ $$aBIB 000454058 982__ $$aEbook 000454058 983__ $$aOnline 000454058 994__ $$a92$$bISE 000454058 999__ $$z634933406447200620
