Update as of 12/28/24: After delving deeply into the steps necessary to develop the first ever definition of Nutrient Density in a crop, beef, over the past couple of years, the leg work on our part was done, and we were able to focus back on our core function of education with a majority of our efforts this year. Our key partners in the beef project, Stephan Van Vliet at his lab in Utah State, and Edacious in Massachusetts have been finalizing the last samples from the beef project, and then taking all of the complex data sets that were collected and putting them into a framework that can be assessed by anyone. We are now ready for the final step, the definition work.

The Bionutrient Institute is leading a study to define Nutrient Density in beef. This work will also connect those nutrient variations in beef to management, genetics, soil, forage & microbiome.
