“…The current fair trade scheme has its roots in the 1950-1960s when Alternative Trade Organizations (ATOs) conducted a number of social activities such as Oxfam Trading. The main purpose of such activities was to create alternative trading channels between southern producers and northern consumers, thus helping producers in developing countries (Browne et al 2000;Robinson 2009). In this sense, the fair trade movement thus describes itself as a response to the failure of conventional trade to alleviate social inequalities resulting from it.…”

The purpose of this study is to present a rigorous, focused review on how this field of ethical sourcing research has grown and evolved over the decades, providing implications for future research. We combine two research methodologies in this study: a systematic literature review and a citation network analysis. The former is used as a scientific tool to select the most relevant ethical sourcing articles, while the latter is then applied as a research technique to analyse these selected articles. Such a combined approach allows for a rigorous investigation into this field of research in a more scientific and objective way. Based on this approach, we identify (1) distinctive features of ethical sourcing studies such as growth trends and content issues; (2) important articles that have played a significant role in developing this field; (3) evolutionary paths that show how its knowledge has been created and transferred; (4) emerging trends that have received growing attention in the recent literature; (5) main research areas that underlie the entire ethical sourcing studies; and (6) major implications that need to be pursued in future research. The results of this study provide not only the current status of the literature but also the patterns of evolution in this field of research, thus contributing to the existing literature.

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This introductory chapter presents an overview of the history and development of the organic farming movement from its roots in early 1900s Europe to its current position in global agriculture. The chapter describes some of the key people and trends that shaped modern organic agriculture and reports on the status of organic agriculture around the world in specific countries. In order to understand the aims and practices of organic agriculture, the evolution of the core principles are also discussed. Finally, some of the challenges for organic agriculture are identified.

“…Many studies that have investigated how consumers perceive the organic concept confirm this finding. The studies showed that purchase motives were ascribed to environmental and health awareness (Browne et al, 2000;Magnusson et al, 2001;Jones et al, 2001;Wier & Calverley, 2002). In addition to this, people who have a high level of awareness regarding these issues tend to have a higher purchase intention towards organic foods than others (Tregear et al, 1994).…”
