Fair Trade and Ethical Sourcing in Agriculture: Paving the Way for Sustainable Supply Chains
Abstract
This chapter examines the contemporary practices and implications of fair trade and ethical sourcing within the agricultural supply chain, highlighting its pivotal contribution in achieving sustainability. Fairtrade scheme is considered an alternative to traditional trade systems that supports farmers in developing nations by promoting sustainable development and anti-poverty efforts. The usefulness of fair-trade programs has been questioned. Ethical sourcing is a comprehensive concept that focuses on incorporating and fostering environmental and social standards in all supply chain activities. However, the application of fair trade and ethical sourcing can be challenging. By conducting an extensive literature review, the chapter seeks to identify the principles and benefits of fair trade and ethical sourcing in developing a sustainable agricultural supply chain, investigate the challenges associated with fair trade and ethical sourcing, and finally, to present case studies and recommend best practices for implementing fair trade and ethical sourcing.
