Fair-trade tries to ensure that when you pay for a cup of coffee, the highest possible percentage of your dollar returns directly back to the farmer. Farmers making living wages are better able to develop sustainable community initiatives for growth and development. This means that the fair-trade price floor ensures a minimum value for the efforts of farmers, and this directly affects the communities that those farmers are part of.
