What exactly is the impact of fair trade initiatives on small scale producers? What are the problems and issues that arise during the complex process of putting fair trade ideas into practice? Those are relevant questions, because markets for fair and green trade products are expanding. The articles in this issue of the LEISA Magazine were chosen to show current practical experiences with fair and green trade, reflecting the variety of initiatives that have taken shape in recent years. By presenting some of the current debates around this topic, leisa hope to provoke further discussion.
