Fair trade is a practice that encourages socially and environmentally ethical business practices, and ensures an affordable livelihood for small scale artisans. Global Gifts, a fair trade organization, is attempting to enter into a business partnership with Follett bookstores to bring fair trade products to university campuses. This project was an attempt to explore and establish this partnership through research into fair trade and the two organizations. This initiative was also tested through a sale of Global Gifts fair trade products at a representative university campus. The sale was not only useful as a gauge of interest in fair trade products as an option on campus, but also as a platform to inform the university community about fair trade and Global Gifts. This paper will explain the methods and purposes of the project, as well as examine the effectiveness of fair trade efforts.
