The Science of Nutrient Dense in Food…From Field to Plate.
Our organization was founded as the home base for science to capture the data to increase our nutrient dense food supply.
We recognize that soil health is intimately connected to plant, animal, environmental and human health. Always keeping this in mind, our vision since beginning this journey was to deepen our understanding of those connections and thereby support the potential of Life. The solutions seemed simple, and, in fact, obvious! Our intention, therefore is to collaborate with allies who also see the opportunities to make the focus of agriculture be quality and nutrition in order to support the systems that provide sustenance, sustainability and human evolution.
Hopefully that’s why you’re here

To bring so many like-minded people and ideologies together, the Bionutrient Institute labs were established; bringing with them empirical definition to the term “Nutrient Density.” It’s there that we assess crops for a suite of elements and compounds to identify the variation that exists in the food supply. With that information we are able to determine the relative nutrient density of one crop to another.
Thanks to the highly qualified and passionately driven team, we also have the capacity to assess the soil that crops grew in to determine what environmental conditions and management practices correlate with better and worse nutrient density effects in order to support growers in doing a better job.
And here’s the best part: All of our data is open source and in the commons to support an empowered transformation of food production. That’s what makes this project so unique. The mission. The people. The transparency.
“We can profoundly shift millions and millions of acres of farmland to much healthier ecosystem function, as well as have positive effects on human health. This isn’t about organic or conventional or regenerative…this is about Life, Nutrition and Health. ”
— Dan Kittredge
