“While at Farm Aid 30 in Chicago,I talked with Norm Conrad who is with National Center for Appropriate Technology. The NCAT is a private nonprofit organization, founded in 1976, which manages a series of projects that promote self-reliance and sustainable lifestyles through wise use of appropriate technology. Its programs deal with sustainable and renewable energy, energy conservation, resource-efficient housing, sustainable community development, and sustainable agriculture.

Norm was at Farm Aid to educate the public on how factory farms pose an environmental risk to the ground water & ultimately us. The government approves of these factory farms but they are not checking the water for us. Since they are on private land there is no one to monitor or control what is being done to our water. Disgusting when you stop and think about it!
Farm Aid is so much more than just the music.”
