Organic Consumers Association

It is website Monday.  I wanted to share the link to the Organic Consumers Association (OCA) that is an online grassroots organization campaigning for health, justice, and sustainability, and focusing on the crucial issues of food safety, industrial agriculture and sustainability and  the crucial issues of food safety, industrial agriculture, genetic engineering, children's health, corporate accountability, fair-trade, environmental sustainability, and other key topics.

It is the only organization in the Unitesd States focused exclusively on promoting the views and interests of the nation's estimated fifty million organic and socially responsive consumers, and represents the intesests of more than 850,000 members, subscribers, and volunteers, including several thousand businesses in natural foods and organic marketplace.

The website has an extensive amount of information and a great resource for your personal knowledge or that of students working on local food projects in your classes.  There is a a great video on engineered crops on the home page that is worth the 3 minute run time:
