Subject: SUSTAINABLE AG PROPAGANDA

I would like to obtain some pamphlets and other pieces
of literature on organic farming or sustainable agriculture and
am wondering if anyone who reads this newsgroup is aware of sources
for this kind of information.

I am manning a booth at our city's upcoming Earth Day festival
and would like to promote the concept of growing food without the
use of synthetic chemicals as well as educating the festival-goers
of the human and environmental effects of pesticide use. The
booth is being sponsored by our natural foods buying group
(we call it a coop despite the fact that we aren't incorporated)
and, along with the concept of sustainable agriculture and it's
virtues, we would like to promote natural foods in general, 
that is, foods prepared without preservatives or other additives.
Other information we would like to share is in regard to food irradiation.
In general, we want to promote the idea of eating food in its most
unadulterated form.

In cities such as Portland and Eugene, OR and Berkeley, I have
picked up pamphlets here and there, but wonder if there might
be a centralized resource where I might be able to select several
from a catalog and make an order (in time for Earth Day of course).

Thanks for any information!
