“…There is also increasing involvement and exposure of female farmers to organic and fairtrade agriculture (see Farm Radio Weekly 2009). Movement toward fair-trade involvement in agricultural crops has potential benefits for women, as many standards require specific attention to gender training, including sexual harassment policies in the workplace and gender representation in company leadership (Raynolds and Keahey 2009). 24 However, there is more research on mechanization and technology applied to postharvest labor.…”

“…De acuerdo lo explicado en la hipótesis general, un aspecto muy importante que tiene como objetivo las normas del Comercio Justo, es el cuidado del medio ambiente.
