Abstract
This is an opinion piece that looks at how the Fair Trade movement has evolved over time and questions why the movement has lost momentum. This article investigates whether the world still needs Fair Trade and, if so, what the future of the Fair Trade movement should look like. This piece is based on first-hand interviews with Jonathan Rosenthal, the Executive Director of the New Economy Coalition; Carol Wills, the former Executive Director of the International Fair Trade Association (now the World Fair Trade Organization) and Head of Oxfam's ‘Bridge’ Fair Trade Programme; Sophi Tranchell, CEO of the acclaimed farmer-owned company Divine Chocolate; Roopa Mehta, CEO of the Sasha Association for Craft Producers; Rudi Dalvai, President of the World Fair Trade Organization (WFTO); Carl Grasveld, Logistics Assistant at the United Nations; Martin Newman, values and mission coach for global business leaders; and Bob Thomson, Founder and former Managing Director (1994–2000) of Fairtrade Canada.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
