It is "Rainforest Alliance" nothing like "fair trade" or is it just a trick?
McCafe is advertising that their coffee is all Rainforest Alliance & I would like to know if it is similar to Fair Trade coffee? So I'm still better to buy Fair Trade coffee and make my own Oxfam home … thanks for the info!
Very different concepts. Fair Trade is about paying above-market prices to producers organized in cooperatives supporting industries for cooperatives and plantation workers in industries not to transfer more money from the rich First World consumers to the poor producers the Third World producers can afford luxuries like eating the meat from time to time and send their children to middle school. Most Fair Trade standards mandates revolve around ensuring that the premium paid for Fairtrade products in the chain of filters to the actual producers. Fair trade is not mandated environmental standards and is conceptually linked to anti-corporate, anti-globalization movements against free trade rather than environmental. Many Fair Trade products also organic or ecological environment otherwise, as Fair Trade producers are often too poor to be converted to modern commercial agriculture in the first place and value added and appeal to consumers in the first world, but there is no direct relationship. Rainforest Alliance is an environmental certification. Has minimum standards for workers but it is a system of price support as fair trade and does not require anything but acceptable housing and livable minimum wages often sub-national workers. The focus is on agricultural standards, the certified organization must reduce its use of pesticides and fertilizers, incorporate soil and water conservation wildlife, and otherwise reduce their environmental impact. Rainforest Alliance does not mean organic, only more sustainable, carefully cultivated trees place cut trees of primary forests, for example (Rainforest Alliance also certifies wood products). In short, fair trade is a support scheme prices, designed to ensure that the poor Third World farmers can live on their farms. The basic concept is similar to subsidies for farmers First World countries, but on a voluntary basis. Rainforest Alliance is not a price support or subsidy scheme in any way and does not guarantee that adults who harvest coffee Rwanda were paid up to U.S. $ 1 day, only that the exploitation is not an ecological threat.
