A picture emerges that for all the institutional buzzwords of "Fair Trade" "Free Trade" "UNCTAD" "free market access" etc to alleviate poverty involves the poor in trade. It becomes obvious that "trade in itself is not fair" because trade is the major component of a capitalist system trapping poor people in a world trade system forcing them to be reliant on exports of basic commodities, so why should poor people trade.

The MST (Movimento Sem-Terra) which fights for agrarian reform with Brazil's movement of landless workers, which invades unproductive lands to make the government slice them up, and give them back to the people is the worlds largest people movement and is the first step to challenge poverty.
