Formed in 1998 to protect organic food standards, the Organic Consumers Association (OCA) "is a grassroots non-profit public interest organization which deals with crucial issues of food safety, industrial agriculture, genetic engineering, corporate accountability, and environmental sustainability." The OCA website links to information about a wide variety of issues including Bovine Growth Hormone-rBGH vs. Organic Dairy, organic food, cloning, food irradiation, fair trade coffee, and more. The site also provides information about OCA campaigns such as Safeguard Organic Standards (SOS), Appetite for a Change-School Food Campaign, Mad Cow USA-Stop the Madness, and Coming Clean-Organic Bodycare Campaign. Additionally, the OCA website offers site visitors information about internship opportunities, membership, publications, upcoming events, and free subscription to bi-weekly news briefs.
