thread_title:  Issue with references 

message: The Criticisms... section seems to be focused more on Fair trade than on Fair Trade USA, the topic of this article. Would suggest the need for some editing there... Thanks, DA Sonnenfeld (talk) 16:19, 22 May 2013 (UTC)
replies: text:  The following statement appears to be quite subjective and perhaps contentious without citations. "The evidence is that little of the extra money paid by consumers reaches the Third World, let alone farmers there. The fair trade research that I have read does not appear to be conclusive on this point. KARDuVarney (talk) 21:26, 15 September 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Criticisms... section 

message: "The Fair Trade model requires rigorous protection of local ecosystems and ensures farmers work in safe conditions and receive a harvest price. In addition, annual inspections conducted by independent auditors like FLO-CERT and SCS Global Services ensure that..."
This is misleading; the capitalization of the two words implies that the model belongs to Fair Trade USA, but the next sentence references "independent auditors like FLO-CERT..." They are not affiliated. If the text is referencing the fair trade model in general, the capitalization of Fair and Trade needs to be removed. If the two sentences are in fact talking about Fair Trade USA's fair trade model, the references to other certifying agencies need to be removed.
