Local BFA Chapters

Something vital is happening in communities across the country — and it’s not waiting on policy shifts or top-down reform. Through the Bionutrient Food Association’s local chapters, people are gathering to take real, tangible steps toward a healthier food system. These chapters are grassroots engines of change, where growers, gardeners, educators, and curious eaters come together to explore how food quality begins with soil biology — and how nutrient density isn’t just a buzzword, but a pathway to personal and ecological health.

This isn’t activism for show — it’s action grounded in knowledge, connection, and shared purpose. Whether you're testing your soil, swapping seeds, or learning how to grow better food with fewer inputs, the chapters offer a place to plug in, skill up, and contribute. It's a collective effort — locally driven, scientifically rooted, and quietly revolutionary. If you're ready to do something real with your hands, your community, and your plate — this is where it starts.

 
 

All Chapters are unique. Here are some ways Local Chapters are getting involved in communities around the globe!

 

Mineral Depots

Bulk purchasing by Local Chapters helps reduce cost and increases regional access to biologically supportive amendments and minerals

Food Cooperatives

Sourcing food with high bionutrient levels for members/ marketing for farmers.

Consumer Education

Leading lectures and discussions on food quality, and engaging with local groups.

 

Grower Education

Sponsoring and/or teaching free introductory lectures with follow-up two day course.

Networking with Allied Organizations

Developing relationships with local leaders, strategists, and organizations who are allied with the principle of increasing quality in the food supply.

Food Quality Research

Local collaboration among growers to analyze each other’s crops through taste, Brix readings, touch and smell, share best practices and submit samples of crops for lab analysis.

Wanting to form a BFA Chapter?

  • Identify people within your community that have an interest and stake in increasing quality of the food supply.

  • Create an informal gathering to invite those identified in community, i.e. Meetup group, potluck, film and discussion.

  • Establish core group from informal meetings.

  • Keep records of the initial steps towards becoming a chapter.

Local Chapters are often started by people passionate about the mission of the BFA but they thrive and grow because of the relationships created.

Local Chapters are led by passionate volunteers dedicated to creating community around topics of regenerative agriculture, nutrient density, human nutrition, and environmental stewardship. No two Chapters function the same way.  Local Chapters are impacting their communities through:

  • Local farm tours

  • Offer lectures & classes around regenerative topics

  • Collaboration with local organizations at fairs & conferences

  • Hosting 'Principles of Biological System' workshops

  • Hosting potlucks

  • Book discussions

  • Teaching gardening skills

  • Sourcing bulk amendments for farm remineralization

  • Caretaking demonstration gardens

  • Participating in research with the Bionutrient Institute
