Lessons from NAFTA: Building a New Fair Trade Agenda

10/22/2007 - 8:00am
10/23/2007 - 5:00pm

Conference in Minneapolis, sponsored by the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy.  CRLN members are encouraged to attend this important event.  

Fourteen years after its ratification, the North American Free Trade Agreement—NAFTA—has radically changed life for people in Canada, Mexico and the United States. It has caused negative impacts for family farmers and consumers, reversed important environmental and labor protections, and played a key role in increased immigration to the U.S.

In a few months, NAFTA’s final provisions go into effect. Join North American researchers, policymakers and activists to review NAFTA’s past, learn about efforts to expand free trade, and exchange ideas on building a new fair trade agenda.
