One problem the food movement will face in the new farm bill is the choice between trying to expand the supply of good food (i.e., local and organic) and the present. The more you do that, the lower the prices will be and the harder it will be for existing producers to continue with their current size and business model. In other words, expand the supply and you encourage the growth of "corporate" and "industrial" organic/local agriculture.
Just a thought.
