PASA: Digging into the Science of Nutrient Density

REGISTER HERE

Whether you grow food, sell it, cook it, or just eat it—we all have a stake in gaining a deeper understanding of the links between soil health, plant health, and human health.

The concept of nutrient-dense food has been growing in popularity for decades, but how do we actually define and quantify it? During this webinar, we’ll explore the science behind on crop nutrient density, including how it can be measured, what new research is uncovering, and what we still need to learn. We’ll examine how factors like growing climate, management practices, and variety have the potential to broadly impact nutrient density

The Bionutrient Institute founder and life-long farmer Dan Kittredge and co-founder of OurSci Dan TerAvest have been studying samples from farms across the country to help us better understand connections between the way food is grown and its nutrient content. Pasa partners with The Bionutrient Institute and OurSci to measure the nutrient content of crops grown by several farmers participating in our Soil Health Benchmark StudyFarmer Steve Groff of Cedar Meadow Farm will share insights he’s gained from participating in this study.
