Podcasts about Fair trade

What happens when faith asks you to slow down, listen, and trust the Spirit? In this powerful “Fair Trade: Chapter Two” conversation, Gail Shurtleff reflects on the unexpected twists, deep healing, and sacred callings that have shaped her journey into Community of Christ. From navigating a profound faith transition to helping build an online congregation and discovering new possibilities for spiritual community during the pandemic, Gail's story is one of learning to recognize God's timing—even when it looks nothing like our own. Along the way, she discovers that sometimes the most faithful response is not to push forward, but to rest, listen, and trust what the Spirit is doing. Listen to more episodes in the Fair Trade series. Download the transcript.Thanks for listening to Faith Unfiltered!Follow us on Facebook and Instagram!Intro and Outro music used with permission: “For Everyone Born,” Community of Christ Sings #285.

What actually makes coffee “specialty”? Is it an 80+ cup score? A traceable farm? The flavour, the barista, the ethics, the hospitality, or is it all just vibes? In this episode, Rohan and Ben open one enormous can of worms and ask whether “specialty coffee” still means what we think it means. They trace the term from its original definition through the coffee-price crisis, fair trade, direct trade and the rise of third-wave coffee. Then things get messy. Can Starbucks technically be specialty coffee? Does pre-batched espresso count? If an automated machine makes a more consistent drink, is that less specialty than something made by hand? And when someone pays $6 for a latte, what are they actually paying for? There's no neat manifesto at the end of this one. Just a much bigger conversation about quality, craft, traceability, flavour and what we want specialty coffee to stand for now. If you're new here (welcome), our show dives into some of the best coffee conversations on the internet, but we will always remind ourselves at the end of the day: It's Just Coffee!

Email support@mapitforward.org or DM @mapitforward.coffee to get started.Episode DescriptionThis is Part 5 of a five-part series of The Daily Coffee Pro Podcast by Map It Forward examining what happened between Benecke Coffee in Germany and coffee cooperatives in Peru pursuing claims for coffee they say remains unpaid.Across the first four episodes, the series followed the relationships between the cooperatives and Benecke, the movement of the coffee from Peru to Germany, the growing payment delays, the transition into insolvency, and the challenge of recovering money through an international creditor process.In this final episode, the focus changes.The question is no longer simply what happened?It is: What should the global coffee industry learn from this?Podcast host Lee Safar is joined by Emerson Carrasco, General Manager of Sanchirio Palomar Cooperative; Anabel Barrientos, General Manager of Ubiriki Valley Cooperative, and Óscar Inocente, a lawyer working with the affected Peruvian cooperatives. Ana Donneys continues translating for the series and is a contributor to the discussion.Emerson says that if Sanchirio had known Benecke was experiencing serious financial problems, the cooperative could have chosen not to ship and instead sold the coffee to buyers with stronger financial capacity.Anabel says one of the clearest lessons is that years of trading history cannot replace proper due diligence. She argues that cooperatives need to assess the financial position, debt, payment capacity and history of buyers before renewing contracts.Óscar broadens the discussion to the rest of the supply chain, arguing that risk and accountability need to be reconsidered across producers, cooperatives, buyers, certifiers and financiers.At the same time, he says he still believes in Fairtrade and sees this case as an opportunity for the system to improve rather than something that invalidates it.Ana Maria Donneys also joins the conversation as a producer, reminding us that behind every contract and container are people who may have invested months or years of work before receiving payment.Correction: Arthur E. Darboven ceased serving as Managing Director of the Benecke management company on 25 April 2024. His ownership position and any continuing involvement after that date remain under investigation.Connect with our guests here:Anabel Barrientos https://www.linkedin.com/company/cooperativa-cafetalera-valle-ubiriki‍ ‍gerencia@ubiriki.com.peEmerson Carrascohttps://www.linkedin.com/in/emerson-carrasco-791b9871/https://www.linkedin.com/company/sanchirio-pe ecarrasco@sanchirio.comOscar Innocenteoinocente@hotmail.comWhatsApp +51 995 147 869https://www.linkedin.com/in/oinocente/ For media, contact Nataly Fabrikantovahttps://www.linkedin.com/in/nataly-fabrikantova-82609219a/Editorial Note:This series concerns an active insolvency and ongoing creditor claims.

Ana Maria Donneys from Café Primitivo joins the series as translator.Before getting into the Benecke dispute itself, this episode establishes who these cooperatives are and the role they play in the lives and businesses of hundreds of smallholder coffee producers.**Correction: In this episode, Arthur E. Darboven was described in a way that could suggest he remained part of Benecke Coffee's executive management during the 2025 payment crisis. Subsequent verification of corporate-register information indicates that he ceased serving as Managing Director of Benecke on 25 April 2024. His ownership position after that date, and any continuing involvement in Benecke's affairs, remain under investigation. We are updating the record accordingly.Emerson explains that Sanchirio Palomar represents 633 small coffee producers, including 220 women, while Anabel describes Ubiriki Valley as a cooperative with 845 members. The conversation explores the work cooperatives carry out across production support, certification, quality control, processing, financing, transportation and access to international coffee markets.That context matters because when an international coffee transaction fails, the unpaid invoice is only one part of the risk.The cooperatives have already financed coffee purchases, supported production, processed and prepared the coffee for export, managed certifications and logistics, and assumed significant commercial and financial exposure before receiving payment from an overseas buyer.The conversation then turns to how the cooperatives began working with Benecke Coffee.Anabel says Ubiriki had worked with Benecke for more than five years and historically had a good commercial relationship with the company, with approximately 25–30% of the cooperative's sales going through Benecke.Emerson says Sanchirio Palomar began trading with Benecke in 2025 and sold seven containers of organic Fairtrade coffee. According to Emerson, five containers were paid for while two remained unpaid at the time of recording.Óscar says the four Peruvian cooperatives he is working with are pursuing claims connected to approximately 18 containers with an estimated value of around US$3 million. He also says there may be additional cooperatives that were affected but did not become formally registered creditors in the insolvency proceedings.Episode 1 lays the foundation for the rest of the investigation: who the cooperatives represent, how much risk they carry, how the relationships with Benecke developed, and the scale of the claims now being pursued.In Episode 2, we follow the coffee from Peru to Germany to understand how these transactions were structured, when payment was expected, and where the commercial process began to break down.Connect with our guests here:Anabel Barrientoshttps://www.linkedin.com/company/cooperativa-cafetalera-valle-ubiriki‍ ‍gerencia@ubiriki.com.peEmerson Carrascohttps://www.linkedin.com/in/emerson-carrasco-791b9871/https://www.linkedin.com/company/sanchirio-peecarrasco@sanchirio.comOscar Innocenteoinocente@hotmail.comWhatsApp +51 995 147 869https://www.linkedin.com/in/oinocente/For media, contact Nataly Fabrikantovahttps://www.linkedin.com/in/nataly-fabrikantova-82609219a/Editorial Note:This series concerns an active insolvency and ongoing creditor claims.

Könnt ihr euch noch an die sehr große Diskussion über Milchpreise erinnern, die wir vor ein paar Jahren hatten? Damals ging es darum, dass Bäuerinnen und Bauern nicht von ihrer Arbeit leben können, weil sie ihre Milch nicht zu einem Preis an die Molkereien verkaufen können, der ihre tatsächlichen Produktionskosten deckt. Dieses Problem haben nicht nur Landwirt:innen in Deutschland, sondern weltweit. Auf EU-Ebene gibt es die sogenannte UTP-Richtlinie, die unfaire Handelspraktiken in der Agrarlieferkette regulieren soll. Sie gilt, wenn einer der beiden Handelspartner (also der Landwirt oder der Einkäufer) in der EU ihren Sitz haben. So ist es zum Beispiel verboten, Aufträge sehr kurzfristig zu stornieren. Diese Richtlinie wird aktuell von der EU überarbeitet. Fairtrade will diese Gelegenheit nutzen und richtet sich deshalb mit einem Appell an unseren Landwirtschaftsminister Alois Rainer. Sie fordern, dass Rainer sich bei der Reform der UTP-Richtlinie für die Aufnahme der Zahlung von Preisen unterhalb der Kostendeckung auf schwarze Liste einsetzen soll. Welche Folgen das hätte, das erklärt Claudia Brück im Interview. Sie ist Vorständin für Politik und Kommunikation bei Fairtrade Deutschland. Den Appell zum Unterschreiben findet ihr hier: https://www.openpetition.de/petition/online/landwirtschaft-braucht-fairness Wenn ihr Lust habt, euer Geld ganz konkret in Projekte mit Mehrwert bei bettervest zu investieren, dann nutzt gerne meinen Code FAIRQUATSCHT25.

I want more!". Have you said "I'd like to mirror, filter, and convolute an image in Drupal - all at the same time". If so, you're in luck. Let me introduce you to our module of the week: Module name/project name: Image Effects Brief history How old: Created by Drupal user mondrake of Italy on 17 September 2015. It's also the successor to the ImageCache Actions module, which was created all the way back in 2008. Versions available: It has a 4.0.0 version available with Drupal 10 and 11 support, and a 5.0.0 version for Drupal 11.3 and above. Maintainership Actively maintained Security coverage Test coverage Documentation It has a full README with details about the available image styles and whether they are supported by the GD or ImageMagick PHP libraries. Number of open issues: 35 open issues, 3 of which are bugs against the current branch. (The current branch has only been out a few months, and many of the open issues against prior branches seem to still be relevant.) Usage stats: 35,196 sites report using this module, with most still on the 3.x or 4.x branches. (its predecessor, ImageCache Actions, still has over 25,000 active installs) Module features and usage The module is pulled in just like any other, with composer require and then enable via drush or the UI. Once it's installed there is a very basic settings page, but most folks won't use much on there. The power of Image Effects comes when you go to Config > Media > Image Styles and then edit an Image Style. Once Image Effects is enabled, you'll see over two dozen additional effects in the list. These effects range from simple to complex. Interestingly, many of the effects that were so amazing 15 years ago are now doable with CSS. Still, there are some incredibly powerful filters. Side note: I'd strongly recommend Aubrey Sambor's recent talk from Drupal Camp Asheville, "You Don't Need JS for That", and her prior talk "Color in CSS" to learn a ton of things you didn't know about CSS effects. The basics like Color Shift, Contrast, Mirror, Rotate, and more are there if you'd like to do these natively. More advanced filters like Sharpen, Blur, and Convolute let you make more complex modifications to images. "Convolution" is the process of applying n-dimensional matrixes to images to create effects such as blurring, sharpening, and edge detection. Try it out on https://anna.engineering/Image-Convolution-Playground/src/ Lastly, you can create advanced image styles with ImageMagick arguments, create Text overlays using the power of Drupal tokens, or even develop your own Image Effects guided by the incredibly detailed DEVELOPING.md file included with the module.

fWotD Episode 3357: Maraba coffee Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Tuesday, 14 July 2026, is Maraba coffee.Maraba coffee (Kinyarwanda: Ikawa ya Maraba; French: Café de Maraba) is grown in the Maraba area of southern Rwanda. Maraba's coffee plants are the Bourbon variety of the Coffea arabica species and are grown on fertile volcanic soils on high-altitude hills. The fruit is handpicked, mostly during the rainy season between March and May, and brought to a washing station in Maraba, where the coffee beans are extracted and dried. At several stages, the beans are sorted according to quality. The farmers receive credits based on the amount and quality of the beans they provide.The beans are sold to various roasting companies, including Union Coffee Roasters of the United Kingdom who produce a Fairtrade-certified brand, and Community Coffee of the United States. Rwanda Smallholder Specialty Coffee Company (RWASHOSCCO) buys from Maraba and sells to the domestic market. Maraba coffee is also brewed into a beer.About 500,000 smallholder farmers grow the coffee plants under the Abahuzamugambi cooperative, founded in 1999. Since 2000, the cooperative has been supported by the National University of Rwanda (UNR) and the Partnership for Enhancing Agriculture in Rwanda through Linkages (PEARL).

Las berries mexicanas, arándano, frambuesa, fresa y zarzamora, se consolidaron como uno de los cultivos más rentables del campo en México, superando en eficiencia económica a productos tradicionales como el maíz, el jitomate o la caña de azúcar.Michoacán, Jalisco, Baja California y Guanajuato concentran la mayor parte de la producción nacional, generando cientos de miles de empleos directos y posicionando al país entre los principales exportadores de berries a nivel mundial, con Estados Unidos y Canadá como destinos dominantes.Detrás de esta transformación existe una estrategia clara de marca, empaque y trazabilidad. Empresas como Driscoll's impulsaron el desarrollo de variedades genéticas propias, empaques con identidad visible y sistemas de rastreo por código QR que conectan al consumidor con el origen exacto de cada fruta.La organización de productores, a través de asociaciones nacionales como Aneberries, ha sido determinante para negociar mercados internacionales, mejorar estándares fitosanitarios y competir frente a países como Perú, Chile, Marruecos o Sudáfrica.Este contenido explora cómo la fruta mexicana pasó de venderse como commodity genérico a competir por marca, empaque y experiencia, en un mercado global cada vez más exigente con la consistencia, el sabor y el origen del producto.Escucha Agricultura Profesional:https://open.spotify.com/show/2ZuOW2DhD7PK4SM33gtFWy?si=e33021063a114550--Créditos musicales:INTROMusic from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/kevin-graham/53License code: 62TIV9S8Q1XCM65WOUTROMusic from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/ra/let-good-times-rollLicense code: KUSUTAITXDLYUTHQ--Fuentes consultadas:Redagrícola, octubre 2025, "Las berries se consolidan como el cultivo más rentable de México", con datos de SIAP y Banco de México sobre exportaciones enero-septiembre 2025.La Jornada, octubre 2025, "Berries, el agroalimento más rentable del campo mexicano", comparativa de volumen y valor de exportación frente a jitomate y aguacate.Secretaría de Agricultura y Desarrollo Rural (gob.mx), "Berries, segundo producto del campo con mayor valor de exportación", con datos de producción por estado y empleos generados.Packaging World, junio 2026, "Live at GS1: Driscoll's Gives a Billion Berry Clamshells Unique Identities", sobre el programa de trazabilidad y códigos QR de Driscoll's.Driscoll's México, sección de preguntas frecuentes sobre cultivo de berries y certificación Fair Trade, sobre mejoramiento genético, regiones de cultivo y estándares de calidad.

What does it take to build a global movement for Fair Trade? In this episode, Harriet Lamb shares the story behind decades of advancing Fairtrade around the world, from helping grow the movement into a global force to advocating for farmers, workers, and more ethical supply chains. We discuss the progress that's been made, the challenges that remain, and why Fair Trade is more relevant today than ever.

Today, we're back talking about the smaller headlines, some you may have already seen, such as Venice potentially raising the entry fee to €50 and the possibility that Rome's airports might suspend their EES (Entry-Exit System). We're filling you in on what that might mean for your trip, as well as upcoming strikes, the Pantheon price increase, and a handful of upcoming concerts and events that you might want to plan your trip around if you didn't already know about them! For information on guaranteed service during a strike, check the link with your train provider. TrenItalia and Italo have a list of guaranteed trains while local services will have guaranteed windows of time that service will run.Autolinee ToscaneAMTS Catania*AMAT Palermo*⁠Italo⁠ TrenItalia Trenord* These two sites, for AMTS Catania and AMAT Palermo, are a little harder to understand in terms of guaranteed service times. These links are to news notice boards on their respective websites where information on upcoming service changes should appear within a few days of the change/strike.If you're looking for a cup of coffee that's FairTrade, roasted by a Certified B Corporation, and organic, then we'd say you're looking for Larry's Coffee.

Can Bordeaux adapt to changing wine tastes without losing its identity? Bordeaux is pulling up thousands of hectares of vines because of overproduction. How does Mouton Cadet's model offer a way out for some wine growers? How are modern Bordeaux producers, like Mouton Cadet, creating wines with more energy, smoothness, and drinkability for today's consumers? In this episode of the Unreserved Wine Talk podcast, I'm chatting with Véronique Hombroekx, the Managing Director for the Mouton Cadet Brand and Jérôme Aguirre, Director, Mouton Cadet Wines, about their Fair for Life program. You can find the wines we discussed at https://www.nataliemaclean.com/winepicks.   Highlights Why did Canada become one of the first markets chosen for Mouton Cadet's Fair for Life launch? What does the success of Fair for Life wines in Canada reveal about today's wine consumers? Why does Veronique see consumer support as a direct investment in the future of winegrowers? How is Mouton Cadet helping consumers understand what the Fair for Life certification means? Why does Veronique view consumer confusion between Fair for Life and Fair Trade as an opportunity rather than a problem? Why does Veronique believe Bordeaux still faces difficult challenges despite signs of optimism? How are changing consumer preferences forcing Bordeaux to rethink its traditional style of wine? Why do Veronique and Jérôme believe curiosity and humility are essential to Bordeaux's future? How is Mouton Cadet helping growers become more resilient instead of pulling out vineyards? Why is maintaining 30% organic vineyards more realistic than pursuing organic conversion at any cost? What does Jérôme mean when he says the 2022 vintage is "singing" while the 2023 vintage is "dancing"? If Veronique could summarize Fair for Life in a single sentence, what would she want consumers to understand?   About Mouton Cadet's Fair for Life Certification The Fair for Life fair-trade certification scheme officially recognises Mouton Cadet's commitment and makes them unique in Bordeaux. The aim of this certification is to pursue existing initiatives with their winegrowers in response to a range of challenges: economic (more resilient operating models), environmental (support for the agroecological transition) and social (training, transmission of skills). Each bottle of Mouton Cadet with the Fair for Life label bears witness to the combination of a shared passion and a long-term commitment.           To learn more, visit https://www.nataliemaclean.com/396.

Even though the heatwave that's been sweeping through Europe for the past week and a half is actually on its way out of Italy, we thought it would still make sense to talk about it. After all, it's more than likely we'll see another heatwave this year, even if not one quite as severe. Mostly, it's designed to answer some big questions that have popped up (why isn't there AC, what is Europe as a whole and Italy as a small part doing about the heatwave, how will it affect my trip, etc.), as well as try and offer some advice on how to mitigate any hot days on your trip. If you're having a medical emergency call 112 or go to a "pronto soccorso" (emergency room). These, like most other emergency rooms, are found at hospitals. They can be found by typing in "hospital," "emergency room," or "pronto soccorso" in a maps app. Or when taking a taxi or asking for directions in-person, you can say "pronto soccorso." The Italy heatwave hotline is 1500. This is not an emergency line! It provides information on how to stay safe during the heatwave and forecasts from the Ministry of Health's heat wave surveillance system, information on the alert system and more.

With no background in fiber but a calling to help women in need, Diana Wiley built a thriving organization on handspun yarn, needlefelted gorillas, and a holistic community for over 200 women. Stepping into the Handspun Hope booth at a fiber festival feels like entering a luxury boutique filled with natural fibers, colorful yarns, handmade buttons, and whimsical sculptures. It would be easy to enjoy the offerings without wondering about the company's name—not only “handspun” (yes, the yarns on offer have all been spun by hand) but also “Hope.” The proceeds from everything sold in the booth are returned to women whom the company supports in Rwanda. A decade after the bloody genocide in Rwanda had come to an end, Diana felt called to help the women living in its aftermath. She had volunteered in relief efforts in other parts of Africa, but her thoughts returned again and again to the plight of Rwandan women making their lives in the aftermath of HIV, extreme poverty, and the long shadow of conflict. Connecting with a former colleague who directed World Relief in Rwanda, she visited the country in 2007. What she saw moved her so greatly that within two days she had quit her corporate job to devote herself to helping. Diana had no previous experience in yarn, and Rwanda had no local wool culture. Diana wondered if the wool from sheep she came across could be made into yarn, but the first samples she sent to fiber experts weren't suitable for spinning. She found a handful of Merino rams from an failed government breeding project in the country, imported a group of Merino ewes from Kenya, and Handspun Hope began their handspinning program. Once the sheep were found, the group had to develop spinning skills, first with handspindles and eventually with spinning wheels, and the women learned to dye the yarn with plants. They have added angora rabbits and yarns, too. Women also sculpt the group's wool into imaginative ornaments and sculptures by needlefelting. Through the Hope Artisan Collective, the organization buys yarns and finished items from several fair trade women's groups across Africa. The group is based not far from the habitat of the famous silverback gorillas that attract tourists from around the world, and high-end gift shops in the area sell the group's needlefelted gorilla sculptures. With income from the fiber and other goods, Handspun Hope not only pays their workers an above market wage, they also offer medical care, early childhood care, and a daily meal for their staff's young family members. Although about half of the organization's budget comes from donations, Diana emphasizes that the goal is to cultivate the women's ability to support themselves through meaningful work. Diana is proudest of helping the women of Handspun Hope build the lives that they wish for—like Rosa, their oldest member at age 92, who realized her dream of owning a pig. Each day, before arriving at the organization's campus, she visits her granddaughter's house to see the pig that she purchased through the work of her own hands. Links Handspun Hope website The handmade items of not only Handspun Hope but also their partner organizations are available at Hope Artisan Collective.

From wandering the colorfully tiled streets to shopping for ceramics and going to the beach, in this episode we'll tell you all there is to do in Vietri Sul Mare and how to get there, plus getting around! Vietri Sul Mare is easily reachable by bus and ferry. There is also a train station which is being repaired and not functional as of June 2026, however a bus route is running in its place. Below are links to bus and ferry providers to and from Salerno and the Amalfi Coast. From Salerno by bus: - Vietri Sul Mare is reachable by city bus from Salerno, the city bus is run by Bus Italia you can get tickets in a Tabacchi (tobacco shop) in Salerno. - You can also take Sita Sud bus (which will get you to towns on the Amalfi Coast as well) but this bus tends to be more crowded than the city bus. From the Amalfi Coast by bus:Sita Sud operates the buses from Positano, Amalfi, and other towns along the Amalfi Coast to Vietri Sul Mare.From the Amalfi Coast and Salerno by ferry: To get to Vietri Sul Mare, Travel Mar operates the ferries from Salerno as well as towns on the Amalfi Coast like Positano and Amalfi.For day trips to Raito, Dragonea, and other nearby towns, check out Bus Italia, you can get tickets for this city bus at a local Tabacchi as well. In general, the city buses (run by Bus Italia) that you might use are bus number 1 (written as 001 on Google Maps), 4 (written as 004 on Google Maps), and 9 (likewise written as 009 on Google Maps). These are the main buses that go from Salerno to Vietri, and vice versa. Each of them terminate in a different town, so if you're wanting a bit of adventure, simply stay on board!

There was once a time where you could tell someone going to Italy that they'd have to go to Venice (Murano) for the glass, Florence for the leather, and Vietri sul Mare for the ceramics. Over the years, glass workshops have closed around Venice, quality leather production has shifted away from Florence as it follows cheaper rents, and yet, Vietri sul Mare is still a powerhouse of ceramics factories and workshops. While this episode mainly discusses the feel of the town—one that feels vibrant, but ever so slightly like its heyday is over—we also offer our thoughts as to who might enjoy it the most, and who should stick it into their itinerary if possible.

Eine der wohl schönsten und klügsten Lebensweisheiten stammt von Sören Kierkegaard, wird häufig zitiert und lautet, frei übersetzt: Man könne das Leben nur vorwärts leben und nur rückwärts verstehen. Bestimmt empfindet das auch unser heutiger Gast so. Eigentlich war ja alles perfekt, vom Ende her gedacht: zwei gesunde Kinder, eine glückliche Ehe, tolle Jobs mit toller Bezahlung, ein Traumhaus. Und dann flog dieses Gefüge in die Luft, öffentlich, denn öffentlich entstand es auch. Schließlich ist Marie Nasemann als Podcasterin, Schauspielerin und Unternehmerin auch eine öffentliche Person - eine Influencerin, die sich seit vielen Jahren für nachhaltige Mode, Fairtrade und Gleichstellung einsetzt. Ihr Leben begann 1989 bei München, wo sie auch aufwuchs. Beruflich startete Marie 2009 auf dem Runway, sie kam ins Finale von Germany's Next Topmodel und blieb seither für viele Menschen eine Person, der man gerne beim Leben zuschaut. Wir sind gespannt auf die Geschichten aus diesem Leben und natürlich - auf die Musik, die darin eine Rolle spielt.

Send us Fan MailEpisode #13 will take you into the room where Ken Starr was the guest speaker to a group of interested winery owners and personnel to discuss the next steps to take just 90 days after the landmark Supreme Court ruling in Granholm v Heald that opened up direct shipping of wine from the producer to the consumer in most of this country back in 2005.I was a participant at this luncheon, albeit reluctant at first, as I was six weeks into my recovery from a heart attack and a 5-level bypass surgery. But, I became active and found myself taking charge as the majority of the winery personnel in the room stayed on the sidelines when Ken Starr was explaining he believed that the Federal Trade Commission would be willing to go further to help knock down more of the anti-competitive barriers that wineries still faced as a vestige of the post-prohibition era.I stood up and started speaking when I should have stayed seated. But I couldn't let this opportunity to take on Franchise Laws pass us by. I ended up founding an organization I named Wine Free Trade Coalition, or W FTC if you will to establish a 501 (c6) non-profit organization to fund the effort. Take a listen.Thanks for being a listener to the Fine Wine Confidential Podcast.

In this meaningful second half of the conversation between host Robin Linkhart and her guest, Mary Cusack, Mary shares a deeply personal journey through grief, faith, and the search for belonging—ultimately discovering a spiritual home that celebrates her fully. From wrestling with exclusion and institutional barriers to experiencing profound connection through communion and community, her story is both honest and transformative. With courage and vulnerability, Mary reflects on finding purpose later in life and answering a call she never expected.

Getting your coffee tomorrow is not a given. Behind everyday products like coffee, bananas, and cocoa lies a global trading system under pressure. A pressure shaped by climate change, economic uncertainty, and growing inequality. The need to change how we value our food is urgent or we risk our daily coffee, and midmorning snack. Listen in to this podcast episode to hear from Social Impact Pioneer Marike Runneboom de Peña, Interim CEO of Fairtrade International, about why this moment is a turning point for fair trade and global supply chains. From sociologist to co-founder of a banana cooperative with over 200 members in the Dominican Republic, Marike is now the interim leader of Fairtrade International. March 2026 is important for Fairtrade as they launch a new Global Strategy 2026–2028, focusing on three urgent priorities: sustainable livelihoods for farmers and workers; resilient and fair supply chains; and a stronger collective commitment to ethical and sustainable trade. Listen in as, together, we explore: · Why fair trade is more critical than ever in today's volatile global economy · The real challenges farmers face, from low prices and unfair trading practices to climate change · How Fairtrade's new strategy aims to create long-term resilience and equity in global supply chains · What businesses, policymakers, and consumers must do to support fair and sustainable trade In addition, hear from Marike as she shares her personal journey, from working directly with farming communities to stepping into a global leadership role. Learn about motivation, perseverance, and focus. This podcast conversation is grounded in the devastating impacts of an unequal trading system and the resilience of farmers determined to overcome them. This conversation challenges the idea that sustainability is optional. As Marike explains, “Fairer trade is not just a future goal, it's a shared responsibility.” Without meaningful action, we risk a very near future where farming becomes unsustainable, supply chains break down, and essential products disappear from our shelves. If you're interested in sustainability, ethical business, global trade, or the future of food systems, this episode is essential listening. Because when trade doesn't work for farmers and workers, it doesn't work for anyone. www.fairtrade.net Our strategy riskmap.fairtrade.net

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.

From a devout Catholic childhood in Brooklyn to the hard questions of identity, addiction, and faith, Mary Cusack's story is one of honesty, struggle, and remarkable resilience. In this deeply personal conversation with host, Robin Linkhart, Mary reflects on growing up surrounded by the rituals and beauty of Catholic devotion while wrestling with the painful belief that who she was might be incompatible with the God she loved.  Her journey reveals how faith can endure—even when everything you thought you knew about God must be torn down and rebuilt. This is part one of a powerful story of survival, grace, and the relentless search for a God who meets us in the deepest places of our lives. Listen to other episodes in the Fair Trade series. Download the Transcript. Thanks for listening to Faith Unfiltered!Follow us on Facebook and Instagram!Intro and Outro music used with permission: “For Everyone Born,” Community of Christ Sings #285.

Sri Lanka, Ukraine, South Sudan, Haiti, Greece, Zambia, The Latin America Lost Decade… prepare yourselves for a lesson in history . And in geography. And in (ew) economics! Today, we're talking about debt. You might not know it, but the world is in a spiralling global debt crisis. On average, low-income countries spend about a fifth of their entire national budget paying off foreign debt. To put that number into perspective, in 2014, it was just 5%. 3 billion people live in countries that spend more on interest payments than education or health. And who are these interest payments going to? Bankers, billionaires, and the world's wealthiest countries — incidentally, often former colonisers. This is not the story we get told in the media. So to tell us the first-hand human impact of global debt – which is inextricably linked to the climate crisis – we are joined by one of Zambia's most prominent debt cancellation and climate activists, Precious Kolbwana. Plus, spitting cold hard facts, Lead Economist at the NGO CAFOD, Maria Finnerty.

This is a bit of an unusual conversation for Theology on Air, but it is especially relevant. America is living through - whether they like it or not - an economic shift away from "Free Trade" dogma towards "Fair Trade" dogma. Think of something like tariffs for fair trade and a desire for the lowest price for consumers in the free trade camp. Both ideas have their merit and both have been debated since the founding of America. But which is right? Thanks to Ken Cowan and Brian Lantz for debating this important topic!
