The Fair Trade Institute (FTI) is a virtual institute that makes the world's growing body of research and analysis of Fair Trade accessible to all. Through this interface, the Fair Trade Institute enhances dialogue and learning among academics and activists internationally and ultimately contributes to an improved understanding of Fair Trade and its impacts on the ground. Our goal is to enhance the depth of understanding of Fair Trade – its strengths, weaknesses, challenges, and potential – so as to provide a shared knowledge among Fair Trade stakeholders, constituting a framework to build Fair Trade future.
Valéry Bezençon (Ph.D.) is the founder and director of Fair Trade Institute. He is a researcher at the Enterprise Institute, University of Neuchtel, in Switzerland.
