The purpose of Fair Trade is to help those in developing countries by promoting sustainable farming practices and providing conditions that are more conducive to trade. This is accomplished by providing the farmers certification of organic farming techniques and business development training while providing their families with educational scholarships. To qualify for organic certification, no harmful chemicals can be used in order to protect the farmers, their families, and their land.
