What is fair trade? What is direct trade? And what's the difference? We hear about companies that deal in these practices, but if you were asked to define them, could you?
We talk to business owners who help us understand what they mean, as well as their benefits and drawbacks. Our guests:
- Paola Macas Betchart, workers rights advocate at the Worker Justice Center of New York, and founder of Nua Imports
- Renee Colon, co-owner of Fuego Coffee Roasters
- Gavin Thomas, co-founder of This Good World
- Maya Spaull, vice president of the manufacturing program at Fair Trade USA
