Organic Foods Production Act (OFPA) Follow
The first national legislation, the Organic Foods Production Act (OFPA), was passed in 1990, creating the National Organic Program (NOP). This legislation established the National Organic Standards Board (NOSB) which issued its first definition of organic agriculture in 1995. By 2000 the USDA issued its final organic regulations, which became effective October 21, 2002, and the USDA Organic Seal was created to appear on products that were certified to meet the national regulations and standards.
