CRS Advisor Writes the Book on Fair Trade

Jacqueline DeCarlo, former director of the Fair Trade Resource Network and currently Fair Trade Program Advisor at CRS, has written the book on Fair Trade…literally!

Jackie has been a leader in the U.S. Fair Trade movement for many years and provided inspiration and counsel to countless people. Now her accumulated wisdom is available “Fair Trade: A Beginner’s Guide,” published by Oneworld. Fair Trade movement leaders have high praise for the book:

“Jacqueline DeCarlo articulates the history and future of our movement, outlining the challenges in front of us and the opportunities for consumers to make a tremendous impact by choosing Fair Trade.”

– Carmen Iezzi, Executive Director, Fair Trade Federation

The Beginner’s Guide to Fair Trade will be formally released on World Fair Trade Day. Meantime, you can download a chapter from Jackie’s blog or pre-order your very own copy from our Work of Human Hands partner SERRV International at 800-685-7572. (If you order through the CRS Fair Trade Program, a percentage of your purchase will be donated to the CRS Fair Trade Fund to support the expansion of the Fair Trade model.)
