Common Goals, Shared Ideals
O n September 25, 2015, the world came together to adopt the most ambitious development strategy in our history, the UNs Sustainable Development Goals. These seventeen goals provide ideals to work toward, but more than that, they provide light in what can sometimes be a dark and gloomy world. More than the goals themselves, two key pillars emerge to me: 1) that no one should and can be left behind, and 2) that none of us can stand on the sidelines, that each and every one of us must contribute and be part of the solution.
There is no question that the world faces an array of challenges. Our history shows us that change comes slowly and not always easily. How then do we not only make the case for change, but also realize that change and finally begin addressing the worlds problems, from inequality and poverty to climate change, decreasing diversity and racial injustice.
I believe it starts with finding ideals that each of us can agree on ideals that cut across age, race, religion and political outlook; ideals that centre on building a happy, healthy, balanced world, where everyone has access to the basic wants and needs of life; ideals that bring our life on Earth into balance with the planet itself. One of those ideals is fair trade.
From these ideals come goals, or a common agenda for governments, business, public institutions and individuals to work toward. To achieve those goals, we must focus on our commonalities and accept that each of us is different. Being different is not only okay; it is what makes life on Earth so interesting.
This book explores many of these ideals and goals, while providing insight into how we got here. Most importantly, however, the book dives into ideas that can start addressing the many challenges our world faces. The challenges, as always, are daunting, but the momentum, energy and knowledge of fair traders and our allies are equally powerful and, in my view, up to the task. It is time to build and rebuild, renew and refresh, and push forward to a fair world for all.

A t a breakout session of the cftn (Canadian Fair Trade Network) National Fair Trade Conference in Ottawa in 2019, Zack said We need to write a book! Little did we know how serious he was. And so began this endeavour!
The Fair Trade Handbook is not just the dream or work of three people but has had input from countless others our team of authors, illustrators, photographers, editors, designers, fair trade activists and producers all those who made our book better and also make the world a better place.
We thank our families, colleagues and friends for supporting us in this effort, and in the future not only using and promoting the information and ideas in the Handbook but in continuing the quest to sustain, grow and improve fair trade.
Gavin: Very special thanks, beyond words, are owed to Kate Ervine, Sasha Fridell-Ervine and Sebastian Fridell-Ervine for all that they do.
Sean: Thanks to my partner, Marianne Pemberton, for her unwavering support, and to our daughter Chloe, who we welcomed into our family midway through writing.
Zack: Heartfelt thanks to Jennifer Thompson for almost half a century of sharing our quest for social change. We hope our children, their partners and our grandchildren will benefit from these efforts, and we acknowledge gratefully where they have continued to carry the torch.
Special appreciation to Erik Johnson, for his discerning eye for grammar and consistency, whose careful copyediting work made the book that much better. And we thank Errol Sharpe, Beverley Rach, Anumeha Gokhale, Deb Mathers, Brenda Conroy and everyone at Fernwood Publishing for embracing us and our idea and making the book a reality.
