Fair Trade Sugar Cooperatives

This month, an article I wrote about fair trade and organic sugar was published.

It was an interesting story for me to research as I spent my college years in Moorhead, Minnesota where, each fall, sugar beets are burned to produce sugar. The stench of the burning sugar beets would fill the town's air with a distinct, unpleasant aroma. Because of that experience, I found it interesting to learn more about where sugar comes from.

This story, though, concentrated mostly on imported, fair-trade sugar.
