In a ‘bottega del mondo’ you find a wide range of characteristic food products such as coffee, cocoa, sugar; they are all produced by ‘producers from the South of the world’ following a mix of traditional processing and cutting-edge processing with a high attention to sustainability, both in the cultivation phase and in processing, storage and packaging. In some ‘bottega’ you find also handcrafted clothing products produced in fair trade supply chains with organic and natural raw materials, with high attention to sustainability.  

They are managed by associations and cooperatives. The personnel of ‘bottega’ are usually composed by a mix of workers and volunteers; volunteering has always been a characteristic of these shops, even if over the years there has been a greater inclusion of highly motivated and trained workers. 

In the World Shop the customer can usually find products from these two supply chains, food and fashion.  The products coexist together to give a complete range of choice, and sometimes they come together to support the information about fair trade. https://commercioequo.org/ 

• https://www.altromercato.it/negozi/i-negozi-altromercato/ Altromercato Impresa Sociale is the leading importer in Italy of fair-trade products. The cooperatives and associations that are members of Altromercato manage about 200 shops where they sell food, fashion and natural cosmetics. The ‘Caffè Manifesto’ and the ‘Chocolate Manifesto’ are two examples of Altromercato campaigning: through these products the personnel in the world shop can inform the customers about fair trade supply chain and tell the stories of the producers and products by intersecting various aspects (for example the product Caffè Manifesto has been combined with a range of organic cotton t-shirts with printed campaign claim).
