This really seems like an opportunity for the 'Million Acre Challenge' 
coalition.

Subject: [northeasternpermaculture] Policy and  Permaculture - Northeast Food 
System
 

Hi Everyone,
I am organizing a policy roundtable for farmers and organizations working on 
federal food and ag policies.  This is a diverse mix of food sector interests 
and includes cooperative associations, farmer groups, nutrition, urban, 
rural, worker justice, research and conservation interests, among others.  We 
are developing policy options and strategies for federal policies to address 
the local and regional needs of the Northeast farm and food system.  Some of 
the participants practice permaculture in some expression. 
 
I am reaching out more directly to the permaculture community - Who among you 
would like to get more involved in helping shape federal policies and focus 
federal dollars that will boost permaculture practices and local food 
systems?  You will be participating with other farm and food sector folks and 
wanting to participate in a little advocacy. We will be having a meeting and 
strategy session early in 2013 (was last month but got rescheduled due to 
hurricane sandy). Even if you can’t come to the meeting, we can work together 
in other ways.
 
Amy

I think it sounds very worthwhile, but as I understand it, you're talking 
only about federal policies regarding the Northeast. What about the rest of 
the country? You might get more takers if you broaden the geographic area. 
Just a thought. Kudos to Scott and Cory for being willing to help even though 
they're not in the Northeast.
