Danielle Duboise sits down with Dan Kittredge, organic farmer and founder of the Bionutrient Food Association, to explore the profound connection between soil health, nutrient density, and human well-being. They discuss how our food choices impact not only our personal health but also the health of the planet, and how small shifts in agriculture and consumer habits can drive systemic change. Dan also shares groundbreaking insights on measuring food quality and how we can reclaim a relationship with nature through what we eat.

About Dan Kittredge: Dan Kittredge is the founder and executive director of the Bionutrient Food Association and a leading advocate for nutrient density in agriculture. 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 purchase. 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.
