Fair-trade (usually in conjunction with Fair Farming Practices)
The practice of applying a premium to the price a small coffee farmer is paid in order to ensure he derives a "living wage" from his work regardless of the market conditions that traditionally drive the price of coffee, and to assist the farmer in developing more sustainable growing practices, increase the quality and value of their coffee and, consequently, the quality of life for they and their family. It.s very much like a minimum wage. See also Certified, Eco-Friendly, Fairly-Traded, Organic, Shade-Grown, Sustainable Coffee, and Triple Certified.
