Welcome

Lead investigators Janet Dine and Brigitte Granville welcome you to the website of the Fairtrade Research project funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council. You can find details of all team members on the website. The object of the research is to determine the welfare benefits of the Fairtrade labelling systems, to investigate the legal framework within which they operate and determine whether improvements can be made to legal or technological support for Fairtrade. We welcome comments and contacts from anyone interested in the movement. The project will run for three years from October 2006 and we look forward to working with as wide a range of people as possible.
