Keeping Up With The Times (COVID-19)
How is Fair Trade USA responding to the global Coronavirus Pandemic? These are some of the following measures Fair Trade Certified are taking during these times:
1.) Accommodation for Certification and Auditing Process (In order for a product to qualify as Fair Trade, it must abide by the new policy)
2.) Fair Trade's National Campaign went Virtual (May 18-21)
3.) What Can You Do? Shop Small, Shop Fair! (If you have visited your local grocery store, you can side the effects this virus has on the supply and demand of our population. Many people are purchasing more than they need which is creating a shortage of food and supplies)
