Abstract
Given the important role that agriculture plays in the economic, social and cultural life of India, it was inevitable that the sub-campaign on agriculture in the international ‘Make Trade Fair’ campaign would be of interest to the Oxfam offices in India. In 2004 the South Asia Regional Strategic Team (RST), which overseas the operations of all the Oxfam affiliates operating in South Asia, decided to take up this subcampaign, in particular in India and Bangladesh.
