In terms of alignment, yes, you have to make things align. This is one of the big concerns I've had for the last eight or nine months.

Similarly, the export goals promoted by the Barton report should be aligned with the national food policy, and I'm worried that they are not.
I think the only way of aligning these different elements is to establish some sort of clearing house governance mechanism, such as a national food policy council or a national round table for food that has the official and specific mandate to have the conversations, build the coalitions, and work through the tough, thorny issues—
