Anyone have thoughts on how to organize an action around this? In the Declaration put out by OWS, food/farming policy was on the list of issues. I know lots of occupiers that see this as a big issue.

Not that being focused on the banks is not hugely important, just hoping someone has some wonderful ideas to take to the GA.
