FAIR TRADE - COTTON

Blurb from TG4 website: Fair trade is currently in fashion. While the worldwide wealth gap between the North and South has never been so marked, a new momentum of solidarity is overtaking the Western countries. But what is fair trade? Is it a means of fair distribution of wealth or a new ‘marketing’ rip-off? What are the alternatives when faced with no-holds-barred productivity to avoid producer countries getting poorer and a deterioration in the environment? Through three practical case studies we shall see how some producers can still make the most of what they have.

22:30 - THURSDAY - 31/1

There will be on-screen English subtitles for the non-English language dialogue/narration.
