The website of the Fair Trade Association of Australia and New Zealand (FTAANZ) Inc provides you with information on the different fair trade initiatives operating in both countries, as well as links and insight to the larger global fair trade movement.

Read through the various pages of this About section of the site to learn about what fair trade is, why its important, and where the FTAANZ fits in and what it does. You will also find information on the two major global fair trade systems - FLO and IFAT - and what they do and how FTAANZ is working with those systems.

If you have any questions on this information, or have ideas for other information you would like to see covered here, please get in contact with us or post in our discussion forums.
