Our foods are not created equally–but what does that really mean? Since 2010, the Bionutrient Food Association has been working to increase quality in the food supply by educating, sampling, testing, and trialing to learn and build the tools we need as eaters to make informed decisions. Recognizing the differences can sometimes be easy–when foods lack nutrients, we taste, feel, smell, even see it. But understanding why it happens? That’s not so simple. Our research has elicited foundational insights about what drives the variation, which is the range of key nutrients like vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, polyphenols, or protein that can be observed across the same crop type. It probably isn’t surprising to hear that the dramatic difference in nutrients across our food supply is caused by how foods are grown and whether soil is healthy or not, but what our research shows is–SPOILER–it’s not as clear cut as choosing organic or regenerative. In fact, across a variety of crops and nutrients, sometimes the science shows that these practices make no statistical difference! What we are finding is that healthy, living soil—measured by factors such as soil respiration—is proving to be a key factor in these wild nutrient variations. As BFA embarks on the next phase of our work and research to develop a clear definition and standard for measuring nutrient density, we are excited to share our findings, and provide the tools and resources to make nutrient density more accessible and digestible for the public (pun intended!). After all, while the variations in the illustration above may seem small, think about it:  🍎 You would have to eat THREE servings of apple in the "low" end to equal just ONE in the "high" end! 🥔 For potatoes, you might need to eat SIX. 🍇 For grapes, you'd have to eat FIFTEEN to equal just ONE grown well to get the same nutrition. Interested in learning more? Reach out, and let’s grow a healthier food future together.

Join Dan Kittredge in Hungary! Register now: https://lnkd.in/gNApA9Bx What connects soil life, healthy food, and human well-being? At this one-of-a-kind professional gathering, we don’t just ask this question—we explore it through real-world examples, system-based approaches, and inspiring case studies. The true source of nourishing food begins in the soil. This conference explores how soil biology, grazing systems, and nutrient density are deeply interconnected and how they can support both ecological and human health. Our featured guest: Dan Kittredge (USA) Dan Kittredge is the founder of the Bionutrient Food Association (BFA) and a global advocate for nutrient density. With over 30 years of experience in organic and regenerative agriculture, Dan has lectured around the world on how we can restore the health of soils, crops, and people alike. His work bridges science with hands-on practice, offering a systemic lens on how truly nutrient-dense food is not only healthier—but more flavorful as well.
