First Assignment Progress

At the second meeting we discussed how each of us was progressing with our individual research topics. We were able to help each other by suggesting websites or people who could be approached for more information. As a group we thought it would be best to keep in touch via Facebook as a common link.

Afterwards, I went onto the Fair Trade website, where I was able to find a lot of information including short video clips of farmers at work from different Fair Trade towns, who were reflecting about how being part of Fair Trade has given them and their communities a better life.
I am interested in looking into the Third World Countries which have become involved in the Fair Trade Foundation Fair Trade has had on the communitity as a whole. Has it reduced the amount of poverty within these countries ?

Below I have put together a mind map of different aspects of Fair Trade.
