The document will be based on the experience coming from the field and the pilot testing of the SFTMS in different countries and settings. It will provide hands on insights of what are the intentions and the meaning behind the different standard requirements. It covers among others: Capacity building, Fair Trade Supply Chain Producers, Sustainable livelihood, Workers, Artisans, Handicraft, Home worker, Fair price, Fair Wages, Social dividends.Fair Trade Fair Trade is a trading partnership, based on dialogue, transparency and respect, that seeks greater equity in international trade. It contributes to sustainable development by offering better trading conditions to, and securing the rights of, marginalised producers and workers - especially in the South. Fair Trade Organisations (backed by consumers) are engaged actively in supporting producers, awareness raising and in campaigning for changes in the rules and practice of conventional international trade. © WFTO March 2009
