Fair Trade is a voluntary form of commerce where economically disadvantaged producers engage in export relationships that guarantee a degree of security and reduced business risk. Justice, as defined by Amartya Sen, is the ability to realize freedoms garnered through the development of capabilities and opportunities. Fair Trade affects capabilities through the development of skills and efficiencies and affects opportunities by generating income and market access.
The majority of Fair Trade producers are male landowners and many have benefited well from their participation in Fair Trade. Thousands of women also work in Fair Trade and many are handicraft producers working in home based industries.
