Mankato, MN
On October 24, 2011 Mankato became the first Fair Trade Town in Minnesota and the 25th in the nation. Mankato(37,000) and North Mankato (13,000) are adjacent towns but in different counties on either side of the Minnesota River, 83 miles south-west of the Twin Cities. The Mankato Declaration resulted from the work od the Mankato Area Fair Trade Town Initiative (MAFTTI), which started in June 2009 after a visit from two Peruvian cooperative workers, Eva Pizarro and Ayde Riveros, organized by Green America and Partners for Just Trade.
