'Fairtrade' & 'Fair Trade'

We are the Scottish Fair Trade Forum. Many of the products you see will be 'Fairtrade products.' Why the difference in terms - 'Fair Trade' and 'Fairtrade'?

'Fairtrade' (one word) refers to the mark given by the Fairtrade Foundation to products they can verify adhere to strict Fairtrade standards.

'Fair Trade' (two words) refers to products or organisations that are Fair Trade or fairly traded and are certified by organisations like IFAT. This term is also used to refer to the wider Fair Trade movement and to the Fair Trade Nation campaigns.

The two terms are not generally interchangeable.
