Book excerpt: This report is the result of the EcoFair Trade Dialogue, a two-years extensive consultation and exchange process that took place across all continents, among a dozen farmer representatives, trade analysts, policy advisors, and researchers from Southern and Northern countries. The report presents a concrete alternative to free the trade paradigm-trade rules currently in place, and suggests policies and instruments to organise a fair and environmental sustainable agricultural trade for all. The report proposes political perspectives and policy instruments for a trading system that offers genuine opportunities for the poor, preserves the environment, and helps sustainable agriculture.
