CIW takes the Campaign for Fair Food to the land where
the Fair Trade market is booming and corporations
have learned that socially responsible business is
good business (a lesson our friends in the fast-food
industry have yet to truly take to heart...). Catch

(UN Geneva headquarters, pictured above), Marseilles,
Amsterdam, and Oslo, where the delegation will meet
with officials from the world's largest pension fund
about conditions in the fast-food industry's supply
