On Friday, May 1, the Nova Scotia Agricultural College (NSAC) bestowed Honorary Doctor of Laws degrees upon Jeff and Debra Moore.

Jeff & Debra Moore
The Moores, who founded L’Arche Homefires in 1983, are today recognized as pioneers of the world-wide “fair trade” movement. In 1996, they founded the Just Us! Coffee Roasters Co-Op, Canada’s first Fair Trade coffee roaster. Just Us! is now one of Canada’s most successful worker-owned businesses based on a firm belief in “people and the planet before profits.”
