I recently came across Noah Enelow’s blog, and I look forward to following his progress.
He is an economist and, from what I understand, he will shortly be embarking on a year-long research visit to Peru.
His intention is to study the workings and impact of fair trade on coffee farmers at the local level, where it happens.
Personally, I look forward to reading his journal. We all see and hear a great deal about fair trade coffee in the West (or North). But what has been missing for me, and maybe others, is a clear picture of what it means at the local, community level in regions where small farmers participate in fair trade cooperatives.
I wish Noah luck, and hope he finds the time to blog fully and frequently during his trip.
