RECLAIMING THE ‘O’ WORD: MEMOIR OF AN ORGANIC REVOLUTIONARY

"It has taken me fifteen years and endless soul searching to tell this story. In that time the ‘real food’ revolution that began with the advent of a government-approved, USDA-regulated organic label has rapidly gained momentum. Popular movements promoting local food, food sovereignty, and food justice, along with a host of eco-label schemes such as fair trade, animal welfare, and non-GMO, have exploded throughout the country and the world. However, despite the resounding success of the now $39 billion organic market, organic production still accounts for less than 1% of domestic land in agriculture in 2015 – 25 years after the Organic Foods Production Act (OFPA) was enacted and 15 years after the final rule for the National Organic Program was published."
