Nutrient Dense Food Production

This 2 part, 4 day certificate-level course, taught by Dan Kittredge, founder of the Bionutrient Food Association, draws on over 40 years of farming experience and 15 years of teaching.

The course focuses on producing nutrient-dense crops, those with superior nutritional content, pest resistance, and better flavor, by fostering healthy soil with high microbial activity…. and healthy soil with high microbial activity leads to increased nutrient density, improved plant health & pest resistance, and increased productivity & profitability of your enterprise. Creating this win/win/win scenario benefits the environment, the farmer and human health!

The course covers the essential environmental conditions and management practices that support soil life, and offers valuable insights into producing nutrient-dense crops. This will ensure plants thrive through their symbiotic relationship with the soil microbiome.

Ready to enhance your farming practices and improve – crop health, productivity, profitability, and human health? Whether you’re a livestock farmer, cropper, viticulturalist, orchardist, market gardener, or a domestic gardener, you will go away inspired with a keener understanding of the intricate interplay between soil health, plant vitality and human wellbeing. Take the next step in supporting both your farm, the environment and human health while reaping a healthy return!
