Is Fair Trade Fair? Fair Trade, Employment and Poverty Reduction in Ethiopia and Uganda

Is Fair trade fair for all involved in the production of tea, coffee and other commodities? The Fair Trade, Employment and Poverty Reduction in Ethiopia and Uganda project set out to improve our understanding of how global trade in agricultural commodities affects the lives of poor rural Africans, especially through wage employment. Listen to Professor Christopher Cramer (Development Studies, SOAS) talk to Dr. Michael Jennings, (Chairman of the Centre of African Studies, SOAS) about the methodology, findings and implications of this DFID funded 4-year study in Ethiopia and Uganda.
