Fair Trade @ UMBC

You can find fair trade products across a plethora of categories. From seafood, to produce, to home decor, clothing, and more, there are very few items you can't find with the Fair Trade Certified seal. Even with thousands of products, fair trade coffee and chocaltes are two of the most recognizable and impactful fair trade goods. 

Fair Trade Campaigns is a powerful grassroots movement mobilizing thousands of conscious consumers and Fair Trade advocates on campuses and communities across the USA.

We are part of a global effort to normalize Fair Trade as an institutional practice and consumer preference across 30 countries and on six continents.

Fair Trade Campaigns recognizes towns, colleges, universities, schools and congregations in the US for embedding Fair Trade practices and principles into policy, as well as the social and intellectual foundations of their communities.

We provide tools, resources and support events to launch and grow local Fair Trade Campaigns in your town, university, school or congregation.

Grow a nationwide community of passionate, lifelong Fair Trade advocates. Their commitment will inspire others to support the Fair Trade movement in its efforts to seek equity in trade and create opportunities for economically and socially marginalized producers. Fair Trade Towns, Colleges, Universities and other communities embed Fair Trade values and purchases into mainstream business and institutional practices.
