Dan Kittredge on nutrient density

Season four continues with a powerful deep dive into the future of food and the fight for better nutrition.

Dan Kittredge is a pioneering farmer, food quality advocate, and founder of the Bionutrient Food Foundation. In this eye-opening conversation with Natalie Li, Communications Officer at ION, Dan shares his journey from growing up on an organic farm to leading a global movement for nutrient-dense food.

He unpacks the science behind soil health, the alarming decline in food nutrition across generations, and how citizen science is empowering everyday consumers to demand better.

Dan’s mission is clear: shift the focus from yield to quality and transform public health through the food we eat. If you care about what’s on your plate – and how it got there – this episode is essential listening.
