Ever feel lost with the information-mania about organics, ethical consumption, and social issues? With so many ‘think tanks’, NGOs, NPOs, and businesses cashing in on the environmental revolution of the 21st Century, it can be hard to differentiate solid information from one-sided propaganda. One organization that can help you sift through the info-polluted soil is the Organic Consumers Association (OCA). It is a non-profit organization that campaigns for health, justice, and sustainability.

Number 1 reason to visit? Solid information.

The OCA was formed in 1998 amidst the organic standards debate that seemed to favor industrial organic-types and cut corners in the eyes of veteran organic farmers. From that day forward, the OCA has organized many campaigns, collected and conducted research in the field of sustainability that includes ecological and social issues, and successfully fought legislation and companies aiming to diminish or downgrade organic standards and in many cases the standard of living in the U.S., where it is based, as well as abroad.

So I welcome you to dig-in to their site on food issues especially to learn what the organic take is on growth hormones, genetically modified organisms (GMOs), raw milk, and to demystify the meaning of ‘biodynamic’.

Happy Reading!
