<br/><br/> "A new 'people to people' form of international aid, which encourages grassroots free enterprise, hard work, middle-class expansion, and community building, is beginning to take hold in the world arena." (WORLD & I) This article discusses the 'fair trade' certification system, which allows rich consumers to improve "living conditions in the Third World" by purchasing products "from farmers in the developing world at an above-average price and in accordance with specific criteria set forth by Fairtrade Labeling Organizations International (FLO), a nongovernmental organization."
