It was formed in 1998 by members of the organic industry and consumers of organic products after the U.S. Department of Agriculture's controversial initial version of their proposed regulations for organic food. The organization's members include subscribers to their online newsletters, volunteers, supporters, and 3,000 retail outlets.[1] The OCA's "Organic Agenda" is to encourage the U.S. government to expand organic agriculture, utilize fair trade, eliminate genetically modified food, implement universal health care, and obtain energy independence through renewable energy. The organization hopes to "inspire" consumers to buy organic products, and to "pressure the USDA and organic companies to preserve strict organic standards."[1] References1. ^1 2 {{cite web|title=About OCA|url=https://www.organicconsumers.org/about-oca|accessdate=6 August 2015|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20150802190833/https://www.organicconsumers.org/about-oca|archivedate=2 Aug 2015}} 2. ^{{cite web|title=OCA/OCF combined financial audit|url=https://www.organicconsumers.org/sites/default/files/organic_consumers_association_12_31_2013_financial_report.pdf|accessdate=7 August 2015|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20150515203010/https://www.organicconsumers.org/sites/default/files/organic_consumers_association_12_31_2013_financial_report.pdf|archivedate=15 May 2015}} Further reading
