Nope, all the change on that front is coming from the bottom up. I was particularly surprised at the bipartisanship at the level that I operate at. We expected a bunch of liberals and blue state snowbirds...we certainly catered our model to that...but for the longest time the majority of our business was with far right conservatives. If I had to pin it down without aggrandizing either side of the aisle, I'd say that alternative ag has certain confluences of interest.
The far right, for example, liked to see that a white person was capable of making a living and providing a quality product at an affordable price without subsidy. It helped them kindle the dream of the small american farmer, the bedrock of their cultural appraisal of the US. The left saw what w did as a scathing critique of anyone who claimed that you -had- to work sub minimum wage slaves to death 1k miles away to get a tomato to market. That they weren;t complete rubes for believing in -some- of the things they believed in. We split the baby between them by being sustainable, but not organic...which is both a pro and a con for either side simultaneously, lol.
Personally, I think that the only real means of effecting change we have on this (and many other issues) is to completely opt out of the top down idea. The npotion that if we can just get our boy/girl elected we'll get what we want, and go get it ourselves. Let those up at the top catch up. Though I suppose the solidarity required to effect change in that manner is constantly undercut by the bickering and baiting that rolls down from on high.
