鈥淢usic and food have an incredible power to bring people together,鈥� Farm Aid Executive Director Carolyn Mugar said. 鈥淔arm Aid is a day that illustrates the diversity and strength of the Good Food Movement. At Farm Aid 2016, we鈥檒l join forces and raise our voices for a farm and food system that is good for people and communities, not just for the profits of a few.鈥�
