The Journal of Fair Trade

For five years, since its launch in 2019, the Journal of Fair Trade has worked to bring together academics and practitioner voices and reflect the thinking in our movement, the practical work being done, and the achievements and challenges of all who are passionate about Fair Trade, sustainability and systemic change. The Journal of Fair Trade became a Diamond Open Access publication in January 2021, which means it is free to read and share without any pay walls or author processing charges on two platforms: ScienceOpen bit.ly/PJScienceOpen and JSTOR bit.ly/PlutoJournals_JSTOR.  Open Access is both a success and a challenge!  We've achieved a rapidly growing, fully global readership and a wide range of contributors for our first five volumes. The 64 articles published so far have had a global readership of over 70,000 in 178 countries. Read more about the journey, our readership, partners and published work in our First Five-Year + Looking Ahead Report. Looking ahead: Work on Volumes 6, 7 and 8 is already underway.   Watch out for issues with a focus on refugees, vulnerable workers in collaboration with UNHCR and MADE51, the importance of democratic cooperatives for empowerment and a just green transition, and the legacy of one of our movement's inspirational founders Frans van der Hoff. We also aspire to deliver a second dedicated Fair Trade International Symposium Volume in 2028.  Your support needed! We really need your help for our core costs: for 2025: Our target is £10,000.   Whatever you can afford every donation will be vital and valued. The  Journal of Fair Trade relies on voluntary contributions from our readers and supporters in the brave new world of Open Access.
