The document discusses the debate around whether free trade or fair trade is better for eradicating hunger in developing countries. Free trade involves no government interference in global trade, while fair trade aims to establish more equitable trading partnerships that ensure better prices, labor standards, and environmental sustainability for marginalized producers. The document outlines some of the key principles and criticisms of each approach, noting that while free trade operates at a large scale, fair trade ensures protections for workers and cushions against market instability but remains small in the global economy. In the end, it suggests fair trade offers an alternative to policies like neoliberalism by focusing on cooperation over competition, though fair trade organizations need to work on unifying.
