Podcast appearances and mentions of dan kittredge

Welcome to the last portion of our long form discussion with Dan Kittredge.  In this last third we navigate the need for Generational Healing and Cultural Shifts in our collective culture. The unavoidable reality that the healthiest food for you as an individual can never be bought. Steps for building resilience and Self-Sufficiency, before then going back to Dan's own Journey to Farming and interest in Nutrient Density as well as his current Challenges and plans for the future. 

Today we'll be continuing with the second portion of our long form discussion with Dan Kittredge. In this second third we mostly get into Principles of Biological Systems and how to apply Nature's Patterns in Business. Dan talks about his experience Engaging with Farmers and Large Businesses alike. We dig into his personal Journey, the influence that Eastern Paradigms and Consciousness have had on his world view, the connection of Nutrient Density and Spirituality, and the potential of Technological Tools to be transformed for Empowerment.

One of the discussions that have propelled the awareness of regenerative agriculture in recent years has been that of nutrient density in food, a term coined by Dan Kittredge of the Bionutrient Food Association. The idea that our food varies widely in its quality and levels of nutrients has caused many people to look into the factors that lead to these wide discrepancies. Dan in particular has been leading research, one ingredient at a time, into the causes and correlations that accompany differences in levels of vitamins, minerals, fats, proteins and almost every other known component in the food we eat. Though I've been watching the conversation and developments of this concept and research for years now, I have been waiting to build a decent enough grasp of the topic to be able to guide a meaningful conversation about what has been learned, where the research is going, and what are the potential pitfalls or opportunities for corruption of knowledge and technology that tells us the details of the nutrients in every ingredient we consume. Then a few weeks ago, my good friend Andre Antunes in Portugal introduced me directly to Dan Kittredge through email urging us to connect and have a conversation. I know that Dan does interviews all the time and so I asked him what he would want to talk about that he often doesn't get to explore. He got back to me by saying he'd be most interested in doing a long form discussion in which we have the time to discuss all of the concepts and ideas around the core of his work with the Bionutrient Food Association that both inform the purpose and research but that go into the bigger motivations and theory behind it all…so, that's exactly what we did. Earlier this week Dan and I set aside time to really leave the space open and see where the chat could end up. Almost two and a half hours later, time which absolutely flew by for me, I have a deep dive for you that explores all that I mentioned and more. Given that I don't tend to do long form conversations, I've broken things down into three 45ish minute episodes. If however you prefer to listen in all one uninterrupted go, I published the video version in its entirety on the regenerative skills YouTube channel. In this first third you'll hear us discuss Dan's seven-month global tour focused on nutrient density, the importance of understanding its true definition, and its critical role in social movements turning into industries. He elaborates on the BFA's perspective, emphasizing that nutrient density is a continuum of quality rather than a binary concept. The conversation underscores the need for a universal standard of nutrient density, the correlation between soil health and nutrient levels, and the use of spectroscopy technology to measure and improve food quality In the second third we mostly get into Principles of Biological Systems and how to apply Nature's Patterns in Business. Dan talks about his experience Engaging with Farmers and Large Businesses alike. We dig into his personal Journey, the influence that Eastern Paradigms and Consciousness have had on his world view, the connection of Nutrient Density and Spirituality, and the potential of Technological Tools to be transformed for Empowerment.   In the last third we navigate the need for Generational Healing and Cultural Shifts in our collective culture, the unavoidable reality that the healthiest food for you as an individual can never be bought. Steps for building resilience and Self-Sufficiency, before then going back to Dan's own Journey to Farming and interest in Nutrient Density as well as his current Challenges and plans for the future.  The other two sections will come out on Friday in the next two weeks, which actually suits me really well because I'm just getting ready to leave for a water restoration job in La Mancha here in Spain and then to the University of Reading to start a Regen Ag transition and agronomist training that I'll be building with a diverse team, all of which I'll tell you about in future episodes. 

Regenerative Farming: Healing the Land One Bite at a Time Guest Joel Salatin, Owner, Polyface Farm What if consumers could gradually move away from purchasing energy-intensive industrial food and go back to buying whole foods farmed with earth-friendly methods? Every such purchase would help those people heal themselves and heal the land, rebuild healthy soil, clear the air and purify the water. Many people are under the misconception that cattle contribute to increases in greenhouse gases. Guest Joel Salatin tells the real story. With a room full of debate trophies, 16 published books and a thriving multi-generational family farm, Salatin can clearly explain how to manage cattle, so that they can solve some of today's most pressing ecological concerns. He is world-renowned for using livestock to rebuild the land and soil. He applies chemical free farming methods and shows how animal husbandry is one of the answers to a greener, cleaner, healthier world for all. Salatin is also a delightful storyteller, who characterizes himself as a Christian libertarian environmentalist capitalist lunatic farmer. Many describe him as the most famous farmer in the world, the high priest of the pasture and the most eclectic thinker from Virginia since Thomas Jefferson. He draws on a lifetime of food, farming and fantasy to entertain and inspire audiences around the world. Salatin devotes one segment of this episode to talking about Beyond Labels, which he co-authored with Dr. Sina McCollough. who has a Ph.D. in Nutrition and actually understands unpronounceable carbon chains, Beyond Labels is an informative and entertaining book that leads readers on a journey from generally unhealthy food and farming to an ultimately healing place.

“How we raise our children is facilitating a denaturing of our human-ness. The opportunity is to be centred within & rebuild our culture” Dan Kittridge is the bare footed gent who coined the term Nutrient density off the back of his dao-ist strategy to create a life that afforded him the time & space to be at home with his young family, living simply with just 10k per year on the land.Over the next 20 years he became clear that his role was simply to serve & that it's not his job to know what he's doing or attempt to implement a plan rather to be sensitive to what's shown to him & respond in a way that was lead by love enabling him to get out of his head, get out of the ‘shoulds'  & get into the heart, asking instead, what flows.The result has been the creation of the bionutrient institute, a global speaking profile & a life long commitment to renaturing which he says sits at the centre of solving the poly-crises we face.“Having the right to land to provide adequate housing & food for every family should be a foundational right. The land cannot be sold but you have access to it sufficient for a simple life.”"As long as we engage with a colonised mind of separation/fear/division, we will not be able to engage with an indigenous mind of love/flow & unity"“As long as the structure of our lives require us to work jobs for money that are separating us from nature, we are paddling upstream. It becomes difficult to tune into the flow of nature.”Loved this?

Introducing a brand new podcast from Acres U.S.A. - ⁠The Acres U.S.A. Podcast!⁠ On this second episode, listen to insights from Dan Kittredge, founder of Bionutrient Food Association (BFA), and discussions around sustainable agriculture, regenerative practices, nutrient density in food like beef and wheat, meter development for measurement, the importance of open-source science, funding challenges, soil health, biological systems principles, and upcoming conferences on nutrient density and regenerative agriculture.

A long-overdue check-in interview with Dan Kittredge, founder of the Bionutrient Food Association. We discuss their involvement in the revolutionary beef study, all the research they have been doing and where they have been showing absolutely no connection between the labels, local, organic, regenerative, farmer's market, etc., and nutrient density.What has been shown is a correlation between soil health and nutrient density. All the claims about regenerative agriculture that leads to more nutrient-dense food, they are only true if it leads to healthier soil, and in some or many cases, it actually doesn't. It all starts with the soil. Plus, very interestingly, the potential of nutrient density: most of the crops they researched scored very very poor compared to what they could have scored. The pessimist would say: look at the empty crops we are eating depleted of nutrients, the realist would say look at the amazing potential. Crops could be (on certain aspects) 10x or 20x more nutrient dense.

My guest today is Dan Kittredge, who knows more about what makes food nutritious than anyone I know.  Dan Kittredge has been an organic farmer for more than 30 years and is the founder and executive director of the Bionutrient Food Association (BFA), a non-profit whose mission is to “increase quality in the food supply.”  Known as one of the leading proponents of “nutrient density,” Dan works to demonstrate the connections between soil health, plant health, and human health. Out of these efforts was born the Bionutrient Institute, which has engineered a prototype of a hand-held consumer spectrometer, designed to test nutrient density at point of picking or purchase.  He has decades of experience literally testing growing methods and measuring the nutrient density both in plants and livestock. As people extol the benefits of organic, zero-dig, regenerative farming and the harms of our herbicide and pesticides laden food supply, Dan has actually been measuring and working out what farmers and growers have to do to get the healthiest soil for the healthiest plants. Not only am I honoured to have Dan as my podcast guest but also he's coming to our farm in the Black Mountains in June to teach us, and others, how to grow super-nutritious food.

Click here to learn more about the January 2024 Principles of Biological Systems workshop in Elk River, Minn. Dan Kittredge grew up on a homestead with a family deeply engaged in the organic movement. Over the years, he worked on farms across the globe and learned from permaculture, biodynamic, agroecology, indigenous, conventional, and microbiological perspectives. With a foundation in both the practical and the philosophical, he created the Bionutrient Food Association (BFA) in 2010, who makes it their mission to "increase quality in the food supply." If you've heard of the concept of "nutrient-dense foods," you might already be familiar with some of BFA's work. The Sustainable Farming Association (SFA) is excited to be partnering with BFA to host Kittredge for a two-day "Principles of Biological Systems" workshop on January 26 & 27, 2024 in Elk River, Minnesota. Don't worry about sitting in front of a slide presentation for the whole weekend -- the workshop will be highly interactive and suitable for anyone who grows anything.

Entering The Real Food Wave, part 1, with Mito Man, Randy Lee: Randy (The Mito Man) is an independent researcher, author, and citizen scientist who's both blessed and cursed to have been born with a fanatical need to know. Today he's a reality/false-reality decoder. But he must have been an inventor or reporter in a previous life, because he loves searching for the perfect way to say and do things. Quote: Let food be thy medicine. ~ Hippocrates His past work includes Gut-Brain Secrets, which is all about food quality -- both the inputs that create it, and the outcomes to people and planet. His latest work, The Mitochondriac Manifesto, aims to overturn our old beliefs about where health or sickness comes from, in light of what we now know about mitochondria, seasonal cycles, and energies in and around the body. Notes from our guest co-host: I've got world-changing information to report. History is in the making. In exploring what to tell people about Gut-Brain Secrets I came to the realization that most of world's problems and opportunities are influenced by food quality (i.e., nutrient density and toxins). The majority of the world's problems go away when you restore food quality. Natural order is restored. Even better, I discovered that solutions to the problem of food quality are not just forthcoming… they're imminent. The technology is irrefutable. So, by accident, I found a mind-blowing way to frame the book and discussion: It's all about food quality.

Regenerative agriculture has become a buzzword in the food world, but there is actually no formal definition of it. Broadly it means a set of practices that aim to improve land while cultivating crops and livestock, instead of depleting it like industrial practices often do. But it means so much more than that to many and is wider-ranging than its potential to sequester carbon from the atmosphere. In this episode, we explore philosophies of regeneration and ask our guests how they define regenerative agriculture, how we can make sure regenerative farms are actually doing what we need them to, and how do we support farmers while they make the transition? In today's roundtable, we sit down with Reginaldo Haslett-Marroquin, founder of the Regenerative Agriculture Alliance; Dan Kittredge, founder of the Bionutrient Food Association, Elizabeth Whitlow, executive director at the Regenerative Organic Alliance; Koen van Seijen, Toniic manager and host of the Investing in Regenerative Agriculture podcast; and Daniela Ibarra-Howell, CEO of Savory Institute. We discuss: Philosophies of regeneration and what is regenerative agriculture How regenerative ag might help address global challenges like climate change and supply chain issues related to war and covidWhat might a new regenerative agriculture system look likeWhat might we learn from indigenous agricultural practicesHow corporations can work with farmers to create a more regenerative system How might we fund the transition to regenerative agricultureDo we need regenerative agriculture certification?

Author Dan Kittredge of the Bionutrient food association discusses creating soil ecosystems that create healthier plant and ultimately healthier people.

Soil Science and Bionutrition Guest Dan Kittredge, Founder and Executive Director, Bionutrient Food Association Did you know that some carrots can have up to 200 times more nutritional value compared to other carrots? The health of food correlates directly to the health of the soil where the food are grown. This episode begins by exploring the biological systems that produce some of the best soil for growing food. Then it delves into innovative Growing Partner and Citizen Science programs that seek to improve the nutrition density in our food supply. The Bionutrient Institute has engineered and released a hand-held consumer spectrometer, the Bionutrient Meter, used to test nutrient density at the point of purchase and bring transparency to the marketplace. The goal of this program is to empower consumers to choose their foods based on nutrient quality and to leverage economic incentives to drive full system regeneration. Our guest, Dan Kittredge, is the Founder and Executive Director of the Bionutrient Food Association (BFA). His organization focuses on understanding the nutrient density in food, how to support it, and how to incorporate it into the food supply chain. Dan has been an organic farmer for over 30 years. Through global engagement, he has become one of the leading proponents of “nutrient density,” working to demonstrate the connections between soil health, plant health, and human health through workshops, speaking engagements, social media, a YouTube channel and numerous webinars and podcasts.

Thanks for joining us, today we welcome Dan Kittredge. Dan has been an organic farmer for more than 30 years and the founder and Executive Director of the Bionutrient Food Association (BFA), a non-profit whose mission is to “increase quality in the food supply.” Dan has become one of the leading proponents of “nutrient density,” and works to demonstrate the connections between soil health, plant health, and human health through workshops and speaking engagements across the country and globe, the annual Soil and Nutrition Conference, and an increased presence online through social media, a YouTube channel, and an upcoming online course. Today he and Monte discuss the opportunities and challenges in all these areas. Dan grew up on Many Hands Organic Farm in central Massachusetts with his parents, Julie Rawson, NOFA-MA Executive Director, and Jack Kittredge, Natural Farmer publisher. After a global career in food and seed activism where he worked with farmers across India, Russia, and Central America, Dan returned to the U.S. and launched the BFA in order to ignite a movement around food quality. Dan has become one of the leading proponents of “nutrient density,” and works to demonstrate the connections between soil health, plant health, and human health through workshops and speaking engagements across the country and globe, the annual Soil and Nutrition Conference, and an increased presence online through social media, a YouTube channel, and an upcoming online course. In 2018, Dan launched the Real Food Campaign, now the Bionutrient Institute, that, with open-source science partners Our-Sci and FarmOS, are leading the effort to identify and increase nutrition in the food supply. The Bionutrient Institute has engineered and unveiled a prototype of a hand-held consumer spectrometer, the Bionutrient Meter, designed to test nutrient density at point of purchase and bring transparency to the marketplace. Via the Bionutrient Meter, the goal is to empower consumers to choose for nutrient quality and thereby leverage economic incentives to drive full system regeneration. https://bionutrient.org/ Do you have a question for our guest or Monte to answer?

Many of us care deeply about the quality of produce we put on the table every day. Some of us are even curious to know what can be done to ensure nutrient dense food products are readily available for purchase when needed. On this episode we will be discussing nutrient dense produce, and how we can ensure nutrient dense food produce is consistently available to us and to our future generation for years to come. My special guest today is Dan Kittredge, he is the Executive Director at the Bionutrient Institute and BioNutrient Food Association, a non-profit whose mission is to “increase quality in the food supply.” Known as one of the leading proponents of “nutrient density,” Dan works to demonstrate the connections between soil health, plant health, and human health Sponsor The podcast is made possible by FoodNiche Inc., mission-driven company focused on creating a healthier food system through strategic partnerships and educative programming.

Not all carrots are created equal and now we can actually measure the variance.  Dan Kittredge, Founder + Executive Director Bionutrient Food Association, joins Carrie to share BFA's mission to make food more nutritious, how they are working to lead this movement, why it matters, the evolution of the Bionutrient Meter and how we all can help.

My guest today on Digging in the DIrt is the founder and Executive Director of the Bionutrient Food Association Dan Kittridge. Dan has been here many times before . He is a good friend of WPKN and Digging in the Dirt. We talk Bionutrious food and the Bionutrient Meter.

This is Session 5 of The Conversationalist, an intimate  series within the Wildland Podcast, built to inspire thought via conversating with the wild. Our vision in this series is to foster and nurture intensely deep and richly philosophical conversations around the co-creation of a much better world, together, in community, and in our places.The title of this series, The Conversationalist, is taken from an Essay by Wendell Berry, wherein he says, “An agriculture using nature as its measure would approach the world in the manner of a conversationalist. It would not impose its vision and its demands upon a world that it conceives of as a stockpile of raw materials. …Now we must think of marriage.”Conversations leading to the co-creation of a more beautiful world by stepping beyond nature as raw materials and by stepping into nature as a marriage.This video/audio is a conversation between Dan Kittredge of the Bionutrient Food Association and Daniel Firth Griffith of Robinia and Timshel. It is a truly unique discussion around nutrient-density, happiness, and their correlation to coherence and community.

As what typically happens with the brilliant guests on the show, Dan Kittredge of the Bionutrient Association and Bionutrient Institute completely validates my work from a scientific and embodiment perspective! Dan Kittredge is the Founder and Executive Director of The Bionutrient Association and The Bionutrient Association (formerly the Real Food Campaign). Dan and his team have created a consumer ready, open sourced nutrient detection device that is designed to collect data that corresponds to nutrient density of foods. In this episode Dan brilliantly points out that our bodies are so much more scientifically complex than his device! Now, of course, this doesn't take away from the amazing technology that his team has created. To be able to physically collect and compare nutrient density based upon environment and farming practices is a technology that could shake up the food world. If that isn't exciting enough, having this data to compare then allows us, as humans with functioning taste buds, to also do a taste comparison, thus demonstrating that indeed, our taste buds can detect nuances of nutrition. THIS EPISODE IS A DON'T MISS EPISODE!!! Highlights: 4:30 - The correlation of flavor and nutrients is REAL Dan: "30% of our genetic code is dedicated to aroma and taste. For whatever reason, nature seems to think that we need the senses and aroma and flavor to guide us because things that have better flavor are inherently more nutritious. 6:28 Dan: "It doesn't matter what the food is, there are massive variations in nutrient levels" 6:36 Dan "What we have right now is epidemic levels of non communicable diseases or chronic illness which data shows correlates directly with nutrient deficiencies" 7:05 Dan "Start eating food that tastes better, which means more nutritious, then these symptoms of chronic illness can reverse itself" 7:30 Dan "There's a massive opportunity for food to have a very positive effect on our well being." 8:10 Dan "We haven't been trained to trust our sense of taste." 8:39 Dan and Sherry discuss if an organic carrot tastes better. 8:50 Dan "The point (of food quality) now is nutritional value, which is the flavor. Our work is to establish a function of the supply chain where people can make decisions on the inherent nutritional value/flavor." 9:37 (the goal is that) Dan "Consumers have the opportunity to make decisions based upon nutritional value/flavor as opposed to other marketing labels 12:04 Sherry reflects on how food has changed and created the demand for manufactured flavors. 12:57 Dan. "We have a scientific instrument- OUR BODIES! It's about tuning within more than tuning without. We've been trained to get knowledge outside of ourselves somehow." 16:22 Dan and Sherry share their admiration of Mark Schatzker's work. 18:12 Sherry discusses how her Ted talk correlated choosing flavor to supporting regenerative farmers. Dan agrees " I agree 100% with you! This is our opportunity to choose what we build our bodies out of, which either gives us bigger vitality and pleasure or sickness and disease. 20:45 The technology behind the Bionutrient Device 25:00 Dan "We're doing all of the science stuff so that you can feel safe trusting your body~" 28:10 Dan is accused of being in Sherry's brain for her Tedx talk. 34:55 Turning fear around our food situation into hope and solutions. 36:00 Sherry and Dan discuss the calorie/energy concept of food 42:32 Dan "God/nature gave you a profound instrument of knowing. It's about re-directing your energy from something conceptual to something visceral.

Bionutrient Food Association: https://bionutrient.org/ Bionutrient Institute: https://www.bionutrientinstitute.org/  Bionutrient meter: https://bionutrient.org/bionutrientmeter  Over the past few years, the term “nutrient density” has been popping up more and more. There are a lot of claims being made about farming practices like regenerative agriculture producing more nutritious food or more nutrient dense food. But is this true? I mean, if you increase the amount of one nutrient are you really making it more nutrient dense or are you maybe just doing so at the expense of other nutrients? And if there are more of any given nutrient in a product, does that make it necessarily healthier?  The truth is we don't really know. There is no agreed upon standard for nutrient density. And many people and companies are not letting that stop them latching onto the term and running with it for their own marketing purposes. You've heard evidence of that right here on previous episodes of this show. Also, without collecting a large amount of data on the various compounds in agricultural products, we can't really even say if it matters.   Our guest today is making progress in defining nutrient density with data and has created an open-source consumer-priced handheld bionutrient meter that can provide a real time percentile of nutrient compound levels in eight different crops so far. He has a vision of someday using nutrient density as an important data point to optimize our food system in a variety of ways. But first we need the data to define what the nutrient profile should look like in each crop and the instrumentation to test this in every level of the food system, which he'll be the first to admit that we still have a long way to go toward that end.  We have on the show Dan Kittredge. Dan is the Founder and Executive Director of the Bionutrient Food Association. Dan was an organic farmer for more than 30 years and founded the Bionutrient Food Association or BFA with the mission of increasing quality in the food supply. Dan's perspective is healthier food comes from healthier plants which come from healthier environments. So, if we can develop a reliable and accessible measurement of healthy food, we can use that as a critical metric for a better food system.  Dan's vision is really interesting: once we have clear definitions and the instrumentation to give everyone access to the data, it creates a feedback loop that can optimize our food system for true quality. Dan believes this can nullify the need for a lot of labels about how a food is grown because what will matter is the data - both on quality and environmental impact. He's going to share the effects this could have on farming practices, genetics, health and consumer choice. Some of this may stretch your thinking here a little bit and you may find yourself wanting to see the evidence. That's ok - and the story here is what Dan and the BFA are doing to search for the data to inform this very interesting thesis. In order to make sure this was a pre-competitive effort, Dan and the team have made their device open source. Dan says it's a very early version of what we will need in the future, but it has allowed them to initially start collecting data with consumers at grocery stores and farmers markets and grow into working with 150 farmers as they did last year. Dan starts our conversation off with an overview of the Bionutrient Food Association. 

In this episode I interview Dan Kittredge, founder and Executive Director of the Bionutrient Food Association. We discuss both Dan's and the BFA's origins, soil health philosophy and practices and the bionutrient meter – a hand-held, non-invasive consumer-priced spectrometer that can be used to get relative nutritional scores off of food at point of purchase with a flash of light. Dan Kittredge has been an organic farmer for more than 30 years and is the founder and executive director of the Bionutrient Food Association (BFA), a non-profit whose mission is to “increase quality in the food supply.” Known as one of the leading proponents of “nutrient density,” Dan works to demonstrate the connections between soil health, plant health, and human health. https://Bionutrient.org For additional information on upcoming workshops, articles and NOFA/Mass project updates, please follow our NOFA/Mass Facebook page and join our mailing list.

This will be a bite sized episode with the goal of setting a growth minded intention and focus, for the upcoming week. Each MINIsode will offer a quote that encapsulates the theme of the week. After the quote we will dive into a weekly focus. Something small that we can concentrate on for the following 7 days. As well as a physical activity tip and nutritional tip, that will assist us in working toward a more healthy and optimal way of living our own dream life. And each MINIsode will end with a recommendation for the week. This recommendation could be anything from a podcast episode to listen to, or a book to read, or even an article or paper, that I feel will help us better educate ourselves towards the overall focus of the week. If this is your first time listening to a MINIsode. The goal is to listen on Friday/Saturday or Sunday to be ready to start the challenges of the week on Monday. Listen to one MINIsode every week, and as that week finishes, move on to next weeks MINsode. You can start all the way over back at MINIsode #1 or join in with the team right now. Quote:“Leave everyone with the impression of increase.”  - Bob ProctorWeekly Focus:“I am so bad at remembering names!” Physical Activity Tip:I would bet, that whatever your network looks like… that lifestyle/mindset also runs through you. Nutrition Tip:How to know if you're in a good/bad relationship with food.Recommendation:Doctors Farmacy podcast with Dr. Mark Hyman.

Why Modern Food Is Nutrient Depleted And How to Fix It | This episode is brought to you by BiOptimizers, Athletic Greens, and TushyIt might be easy to assume that if you’re eating a whole foods diet rich in plants, you’re getting lots of nutrients. Compared to a processed diet, that’s true, but you might not be getting all the nutrition you’d expect from one carrot to the next. Wouldn’t it be cool if we could measure the nutrient density in our food, to pick the most optimal bunch of spinach or package of berries at the market? Thanks to the convergence of technology and nutrition science, we can. I was fascinated to talk to Dan Kittredge about intentionally eating for nutrient density on this episode of The Doctor’s Farmacy. Dan Kittredge has been an organic farmer for more than 30 years and is the founder and executive director of the Bionutrient Food Association, a non-profit whose mission is to “increase quality in the food supply.” Known as one of the leading proponents of “nutrient density,” Dan works to demonstrate the connections between soil health, plant health, and human health.

Using ferments, tinctures, and extracts, he creates the foliar sprays, fertilizers, and soil drenches to grow disease and pest-resistant plants, and nutrient-dense food, without the need for commercial chemical fertilizers, pesticides, or fungicides. Rich with examples from his own garden, Nigel's approach favors biology over technology to reduce the cost of gardening, improve his local soil, and the quality of his fruits and vegetables. You can find more about Nigel, his book, and work with The Institute of Sustainable Nutrition at tiosn.com. Download Nigel's Recipe for Vinegar Extractions (With Permission from Chelsea Green Publishing) Gardening can be incredibly wasteful from all the packaging and plastic, to harmful to our environment through the overuse of chemicals, from nitrogen-heavy fertilizers that runoff into our waterways, to the pesticides and herbicides that, even when narrow spectrum, kill a wide variety of soil life. In our waterways, many of these chemicals that seem to improve our gardens and growth of food, kill fish, and amphibians. I like Nigel's DIY approach to sustainable fertilization, fertigation, and improvement of life in the soil because it dispenses with those harms while using and reusing items we can find in our local environment. Often from our pantry, garden, or own backyard, while aligning with so many of the principles of permaculture. We can observe the rise of a disease or pest issue and interact with a creative response via the homemade remedy. We catch and store energy by creating tinctures, extracts, and ferments while they are available and create a form we can keep refrigerated or on a shelf. We obtain a yield by increasing the health, vitality, and nutrition of our plants. Though not written explicitly as a permaculture book, Nigel provides a holistic approach to Zone 1 and Zone 2 plant management. But, those are just my thoughts.

Dan Kittredge is the founder and director of the Bionutrient Food Association and talks about using technology to measure nutrient density in food and plants. Dan and his organization are working to increase the quality of our food supply.

Before we present our newest episode, we have a request for you. As we complete our second season of the Regenerative Agriculture Podcast, we have a supporting base of over 5,000 listeners who engage with our episodes shortly after we post them. We now ask for your feedback on the podcast, whether there are topics you’d like to hear more about, and what suggestions you have for improvement. We’ve put together a survey that allows you to tell us what you think. Here’s the link: advancingecoag.com/podcast. We are appreciative of your feedback and we look forward to implementing it to make the Regenerative Agriculture Podcast ever better! Thank you for permitting the interruption…now, on to the show notes! In this episode of the podcast, John interviews Dan Kittredge, the Executive Director of the Bionutrient Food Association, whose development of sustainable agriculture techniques has connected him to farmers worldwide. In this interview, John and Dan delve into the science of growing crops as it relates to human nutrition, describing how agricultural production practices can produce a better nutrient profile in our foods and the potential this holds for human health. He explains why a balanced, as well as a higher nutrient density in crops, is desirable. He discusses the complex relationships between the sun, soil, and plants that lead to these higher and balanced levels of nutrition. Dan explains that across the same food types, i.e., all carrots, wheat, milk, etc., there can be discrepancies in the reported nutritional values and how nutritional data on food packages can be wildly incorrect. Over the past few years, Dan has been working on the development of a BioNutrient Meter, a handheld spectrometer which tests mineral levels in fruits and vegetables. Dan describes the science of spectroscopy, which is based on the frequencies emitted by each chemical element --this same technology helps scientists and astrophysicists determine the composition of stars six light-years away in our solar system. By measuring the frequencies and light particular elements emit, they can measure the percentage of hydrogen, helium and other gases. With the science of spectroscopy, and other new technology, Dan and his team at the BioNutrient Food Association have built a first-generation model of a miniaturized consumer-priced spectrometer for testing the nutrient levels in crops. Listen to this provocative conversation between two pioneers who are truly passionate about growing food as medicine to learn: How Dan founded BFA, and how this non-profit provides support and education for farmers about the use of biological systems The science behind plant resistance to insects, and why these resistant crops make good, in fact better, food for humans. The differences in nutrient density between instances of the same crop when grown on different soil under different conditions How soil and plant health correlates to nutrient density How the compounds that correlate with flavor and aroma are those that make the plant indigestible for an insect or disease The science of spectroscopy, and how the new BioNutrient Meter works Resources The BioNutrient Food Association is having their annual Soil & Nutrition Conference in Massachusetts on November 13 to 17, 2019.

What happens when you choose quantity over quality, short-term over long-term, uniform and shelf-stable over regional and flavorful, over and over for decades? Many things...including loss of genetic diversity, loss of soil fertility and soil life, and loss of nutrients in food. Dan Kittredge has been an organic farmer for more than 30 years, and is the founder and executive director of the Bionutrient Food Association, an 8 year old non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “increase quality in the food supply.” Known as one of the leading proponents of “nutrient density” globally, Dan has worked to make the connections between plant health, soil health, carbon sequestration, crop nutritional value, flavor and human health. The Bionutrient Food Association has engineered the Bionutrient Meter, a hand held consumer spectrometer that is designed to test crop nutrient density at point of purchase. The strategy is to connect the economic incentives from consumer to grower to drive full system regeneration.   The answer is so simple...just eating food that tastes good can actually solve many of the world's problems!   In This Episode →What conditions in our food system have led to the need for nutrient monitoring? (2:25) →What creates bionutrient-rich food?

Our current agricultural systems produce food with little nutritional value. And even the products labeled organic are not necessarily more nutrient dense. We assume that every carrot is as healthy as the next, but in truth, there is enormous variation and our existing standards assess process—not quality. So, is there a reliable way to determine the nutritional value of a particular food? To compare one carrot with another and make an informed decision on what to buy? Dan Kittredge is an organic farmer and founder of the Bionutrient Food Association, a nonprofit dedicated to improving the quality of our food supply. The organization works with growers, consumers and purveyors of food, providing the information and relationships necessary to create a market for high-quality food. Dan’s team has developed a prototype ‘bionutrient meter,’ a spectrometer that reads the nutrient density in foods, allowing consumers to compare nutritional value and make decisions accordingly. Today, Dan joins Ross and Christophe to discuss the assumption that all food has the same nutritional value, explaining why the organic label can be misleading and how his organization is working to help consumers choose the most nutrient-dense food. We speak to the many benefits of producing food with high nutritional value (including carbon sequestration) and Dan describes how the conventional ag mindset impacts our health.
