Tim Davies imagines what the next level of Fair Trade might look like. He wonders if the technologies of connectivity could be fine-tuned to provide consumers with (1) more producers' stories, (2) a sight of the whole supply chain for a particular product, (3) better information to guide decision making, and (4) closer connections with the producers themselves.

I think Fair Trade 2.0 is about applying fair trade thinking to other sectors (most notably, the variety of sectors encompassed under the "services" label, from data entry to software coding). So far, there's been very little discussion on this, despite claims that low-end IT-based processes are fostering the next generation of sweatshops.
