Agriculture, Trade and Development For Australia's Neighbours
Monday 1 May 2006
6:15pm - 8pm
Innovations Lecture Theatre and Foyer
Garran Road
Australian National University
With a free coffee tasting and opportunity to ‘Meet the Makers’ from 5:30pm
Convened as part of Fair Trade Fortnight 2006 in Australia and New Zealand, this forum will explore issues concerning trade and development, particularly as it relates to agriculture and the significant commodity products produced by Australia's neighbours in PNG, East Timor and Indonesia: Coffee.
The forum will commence at 5:30pm with free tastings of Fairtrade coffee from the Asia-Pacific and your opportunity to 'Meet the Makers' and discuss the coffee and its origins with two coffee producers from PNG.
The forum will feature the two coffee producers; representatives of the Fairtrade certification system and ANU's Regulatory Institution Network; and other presenters to be confirmed from government and other NGOs involved with trade and development. They will discuss various aspects of trade and development, the importance of agriculture to the economic, social and environmental development of Australia's neighbours, and how Fairtrade certification is assisting coffee farmers in PNG and other countries to break cycles of poverty and achieve more sustainable development in their communities. Opportunities for questions, comments and interaction will be provided at the end of the presentations.
