The Idea of Nature Public Lecture Series presents: Dan Kittredge, "Nutrient Density"

"Nutrient Density" by Dan Kittredge, Farmer and founder of the Bionutrient Food Association.

Dan Kittredge has been an organic farmer for more than 30 years and is the founder and executive director of the Bionutrient Food Association (BFA), a non-profit whose mission is to “increase quality in he food supply.” Known as one of the leading proponents of nutrient density,” Dan works to demonstrate the “connections between soil health, plant health, and human health.

We will cover current research on nutrient density and the vision for how this exciting work could serve to profoundly disrupt the dynamics of the food supply. Can agriculture meaningfully reverse climate imbalances, and be used to reverse chronic disease as well?

Mr. Kittredge's lecture will be in person in the Simplot Ballroom of the Student Union building, and also available via Zoom webinar. As part of the series, there will also be hybrid lectures in March and April, as well as a bonus webinar during Earth Week in April. The goal of the series, which was founded by professor of English Literature, Samantha Harvey, in 2012, is “to promote interdisciplinary inquiry and to foster dialogue across campus and community, based on the premise that big questions need interdisciplinary answers”.
