Fair Trade = No Poverty

poverty as desired by the first goal of the 17 Sustainable Development
Goals - NO POVERTY.

Using the concept of 'Agent for Change' (Fair Trade as an
agent for change), WFTO's formula to eradicate poverty: Fair Trade +
Economic Opportunities = No Poverty
By creating economic opportunities for producers,
especially the small and marginalised farmers and artisans, WFTO and its
