Do consumers really care about fair trade? And what will it take for ethical brands to thrive in an increasingly competitive marketplace? In this episode of FAIR Talks, host Becca Dunn is joined by Bethany Tran (Fair Trade Federation), Seth Goldman (Just Ice Tea and Honest Tea), and Sarah Culler (Fair Trade Winds) to explore the future of fair trade brands and the conscious consumer. From changing shopping habits and rising costs to younger generations and mainstream competition, they discuss what really drives purchasing decisions, why having a strong mission isn't always enough, and how fair trade businesses can reach more consumers without compromising their values.
Where does the fair trade movement go from here?

What does it take to build a global movement for Fair Trade?

In this special 50th episode of FAIR Talks, we sit down with Anthony “Ants” Watt, CEO of Joyya, for a powerful conversation on rethinking poverty, impact, and what it truly takes to create lasting change. Moving beyond traditional ideas of employment as a solution, Joyya’s model highlights the importance of relationships, community, and long-term investment in people’s lives. From education and healthcare to holistic support systems, this episode explores how addressing the deeper, relational roots of poverty can open the door to sustainable transformation. It’s an honest and inspiring conversation about dignity, resilience, and the kind of impact that extends far beyond a single job. Learn more at joyya.com.
In this episode of FAIR Talks, Becca sits down with Karin Gardner, Vice President of Marketing at Oppy, to explore the stories behind the produce we buy every day, from global supply chains to deeply personal moments that highlight the people who grow, harvest, and pack our food. One story in particular stands out, as a father shares that through Fair Trade premiums he was able to bring warm water into his home for the first time and give his children a warm bath, a powerful reminder that even the smallest choices we make as consumers can ripple into something much bigger. As we reflect on National Farmworker Awareness Week, this conversation invites us to pause, look closer at the food we buy, and truly see the people behind it. Learn more at oppy.com.
