Dan Kittredge
Executive director,
Bionutrient Food Association &
The Bionutrient Institute
For more than a decade, Dan Kittredge has been teaching his concepts and practices as an organic farmer across the world.
In 2010, he founded The Bionutrient Food Association with a singular, simplistic vision; “increasing quality in the food supply.” This resonating message has filled workshops and speaking engagements with farmers and consumers alike hungry for answers. Expanding upon these concepts is the BFA flagship event, the annual Soil and Nutrition Conference now in its tenth year.
A born leader in this field, Dan has solidified himself as an expert in the world of “nutrient density” and biological or regenerative agriculture. Through this mission, the Bionutrient Institute was launched to demonstrate the connections between nutrient density and soil, plant and human health with partner organizations Our-sci LLC, FarmOS and Next 7.
The significant growth since 2018, now means three labs in the U.S. and one in Europe are conducting surveys of the food supply and measuring variation of nutritional compounds found in food and connecting it to management practices, environmental conditions and cultivars.
In 2021, the Institute unveiled a second generation prototype of the Bionutrient Meter, a hand-held consumer spectrometer, calibrated by the sampling done at the labs. The meter is designed to test nutritional quality at point of purchase, bringing transparency to the marketplace. The overarching goal of which is provide growers with tools to understand and therefore, increase nutrition in their crops.
The newest lab near Boston, MA is designed to further the mission of our understanding of nutrient density and to engineer an advanced version of the Bionutrient Meter, with open source data, demonstrating the BFA’s commitment to small landholders and the greater global Commons.
