The University of Western Australia (UWA) has been recognised as a Fair Trade University by the Fair Trade Association of Australia and New Zealand. This endorsement recognises the university’s commitment to Fair Trade, a system based on international principles that ensure that more vulnerable small producers and farmers get better terms of trade. It is a powerful alternative to the dominant free trade system which ignores the smaller, vulnerable traders of the world.
