In your community

Doing your bit to support the farmers and producers out there is guaranteed to make you feel fabulous. A fun way to support Fairtrade and raise awareness about the important issues Fairtrade works to address is to hold an event. It could be anything, really. The popular options include a stall at a market, having a bake sale at your school, or arranging an awareness-raising morning tea. Nothing beats baked goods!

The Fair Trade Association can help you with this. The Fair Trade Association of Australia & New Zealand is an independent, member-driven organisation which facilitates the growth of the fair trade movement by supporting Fair Trade Communities including universities, schools and faith groups.

We understand this can be confusing at times. Here’s how to tell us apart.

Fairtrade works directly with producer groups and businesses which sell Fairtrade certified products. Fairtrade certifies against rigorous international standards, and products can only bear the Fairtrade Mark if these standards have been met. We also run campaigns to promote understanding of the issues that Fairtrade works to address and encourage support through the purchase of Fairtrade certified products. This is always written as one word – Fairtrade.

The Fair Trade Association facilitates growth of the fair trade movement and promotes not only our Fairtrade certified products, but also the World Fair Trade Organisation and their own Fair Traders oof Australia Endorsement program. This is written as two words – Fair Trade. The movement is also described by two words – fair trade.
