Let the first question come from me then: How is attacking the Bretonian Navy in Leeds furthering any of the six AFA goals outlined above?
Firstly, in my view none of the goals can be connected to Bretonia whatsoever. Numbers 1, 2 and 3 do not apply, because this is not a fight related at all to Kusari agriculture. Number 4 also does not apply, the AFA are clearly on the offensive here. Number 5 hardly applies considering that Leeds is currently a warzone, the stations captured by the KNF are more of a military outpost under occupation than a properly functioning base at the moment (or at least logically that should be the case), which means neither Samura nor Kishiro would have much going on there. They are still fighting over the area with the Bretonians after all. Number 6... Leeds is an industrial system - it has no farming infrastructure in it whatsoever, not even synth biodomes.
Consider this also, that Bretonian food is produced on only one planet: Cambridge. It is very likely not a monopolised corporate enterprise, instead being groups of private farmers growing crops. Bretonia is heavily resisting Synth Foods expansion, and is encouraging crops growth on the surface of Cambridge - that alone should make the AFA no less than sympathetic to Bretonian food producers.
Secondly, when was a time a military allowed civilian militias to roam around a foreign battlefield, looking for trouble? I'd say the KNF would be much more likely to dismiss any AFA attempt to try to work with them, instead of - hell, allowing them outright docking rights on the occupied Stokes station. If they wanted to use a bunch of farmer political activists for mapping purposes, they would probably just call on them to hand over their sensor logs, and do the rest of the work themselves.
