Where: Rutgers Douglass Student Center, New Brunswick, NJ  [map]
Dan Kittredge will be presenting two workshops at the 2019 Winter Conference hosted by NOFA-NJ:
"Principles to Produce Nutrient Dense Food" - Nutrient Dense crops are the byproducts of well-functioning biological systems. This workshop will cover a number of critical environmental conditions and management practices necessary for the production of these more flavorful, aromatic, nutritious, pest and disease resistant harvests. The foundational paradigm of how plants have evolved to operate in relation to their environments will be covered, along with practical suggestions having to do with seed quality, mineralization, minimal soil disturbance, inoculation, in season monitoring, integrating cover crops, managing for soil aeration and hydration, and intention.
"Defining Food Quality: Tools, Science and Collaboration" - The Bionutrient Food Association has embarked on an open source project to 1) develop a hand-held spectrometer that can be used at point of purchase to test relative nutrient density, 2) populate a database sufficient to define relative nutrient density, and 3) populate a database sufficient to identify causal dynamics in the production of nutrient dense crops. We are partnering with farmers, organizations, companies and universities in this project. Those interested in an update on the progress of this project, or in collaboration will find this workshop valuable. Learn more and register

Advanced Organic Soil Management with Dan Kittredge
A day-long intensive as a part of the Organic Intensives 2019 sponsored by the Michigan Organic Food & Farm Alliance
When: Saturday, January 12, 2019
Where: Plant & Soil Sciences building on the MSU campus in East Lansing, MI  [map]
We all manage soil, and we all strive to improve it year by year. But often our efforts amount to a scattershot approach, addressing one aspect in one year, and switching gears the next without evaluating the effectiveness of our interventions, or continuing to monitor the state of the soil or the health of the crop. Soil health is measured multiple ways: fertility testing, mineral testing, biological assays and plant productivity. Understanding how to interpret these results and put them to use to improve soil health and plant health is critical to sustainable success. Dan Kittredge will entertain attendees for the day on soil testing interpretation and strategies to improve, maintain and monitor soil health, with an underlying message of improving food quality.

Understanding The Water Cycle for Soil, Climate & Life: Workshop with Walter Jehne
When: May 12, 2018
Where: Immanuel Lutheran Church, Amherst, MA  [ map ]
Sponsored by NOFA and Bionutrient Food Association
The regeneration of soil ecosystems (and the plant communities with which they are interdependent) is critical to the sequestration of carbon, the mitigation of climate change and the future of life on earth. But there is a vital part of the story of soil regeneration and global climate mitigation that hasn’t been as well covered as the carbon cycle - and that is the global water cycle. Australian soil microbiologist Walter Jehne spends a lot of his time considering and explaining the role of the water cycle in the regulation of the planet’s heating and cooling processes.

Designed for farmers, land managers, and students of natural resource conservation, environmental science, and sustainable farming and food systems, this program will provide a deep look at the intersection of soil regeneration practices and the restoration of hydrological processes. Participants will gain insight and inspiration toward practices they can apply to their own farms and gardens, as well as a larger context of theory that integrates our knowledge of the water cycle and its role in regulating global temperature with current efforts toward conservation and regeneration of living soils.

In this day-long intensive workshop, this internationally-recognized scientist will take participants back to the beginning of soils and explain the implications of pedogenesis on our contemporary thinking about soil regeneration. He will describe the ways in which soil and plant ecosystems regulate and control the water cycle, and therefore impact energy systems on earth, as heat is embodied, drawn down, or released in phase transformations.

Walter Jehne is an internationally-recognized Australian climate scientist and soil microbiologist and founder of Healthy Soils Australia. Jehne was one of the early researchers on glomalin, myccorrhizal fungi, and root ecology, and has been a leader in the grassroots movement to educate farmers, policymakers, and industry alike on the crucial role of soil ecosystems in global climate change. He has since been working at the national (CSIRO - Australia’s scientific research organization) and international level (UN) to create global change in food systems and climate response.   Learn more and register today

Increasing Quality in the Food Supply with Dan Kittredge
When: April 25, 2018 @ 6:30
Where: Westminster Public Library, Westminster, MA  [ map ]
You Are What You Eat!!
We’ve all heard that – but what does it really mean? To you? Did you know that you grow most of a new body every 6 months – and every part of your body is renewed (including your bones) many times during your lifetime? That renewed body is only as strong as the building blocks used to actually grow it. What you eat really does become who you are and what you will become.

Degenerative diseases are often based on enzyme insufficiency and mineral deficiency…those same diseases that are draining families’, communities’ and countries’ financial and emotional resources.

OK - but now what do you do? You need to understand your food supply – and that’s a BIG topic. Happily, Dan Kittredge, Director of the Bionutrient Food Association can walk you through just that. Dan has spent his entire adult life working out the backbone of what food quality really means – and even more to the point – how to grow the food supply – plant and animal to the level of health that can support your health (and your family’s). Join us, as Dan speaks on Increasing Quality in the Food Supply.

Organic Growers School Spring Conference
When: March 9-11, 2018
Where: University of North Carolina, Asheville, NC
The Spring Conference is a one-of-a-kind event that offers regionally specific workshops on organic growing and sustainable living. Our mission is to provide down-to-earth, practical advice while remaining affordable and accessible to anyone who wants to participate. For 25 years, the Spring Conference has brought together environmentally minded folks from 17 states and Canada. Join our celebration for a weekend of learning, networking, and growing.
Dan will be offering workshops on Saturday and Sunday, as well as an all-day workshop on Friday, March 9, titled "Human Health = Soil Health", where he will discuss thriving and diverse gut flora as the key to health. Science is discovering the vast similarities between the gut and root microbial communities. Their capacity for symbiosis and harmony or depletion and disease is all based how we approach them. When the soil is full of life-supporting probiotics, the food grown there is your ally in gut health, nutrient absorption, and immune resilience. When the soil is not healthy it leads to chronic disease and degeneration. In order to invest in our collective health, we need to invest in rebuilding the soil.

NOFA-NJ Winter Conference
When: January 28, 2018
Where: Rutgers Douglass Student Center, New Brunswick, NJ  [map]
Dan Kittredge will be presenting an intensive workshop about the exciting progress of the Bionutrient Meter prototype, a hand-held device that anyone can use to flash a light at food and discern levels of nutrient density, or a farmer can use in the field to determine relative crop quality. It is the goal of the BFA that such a tool made widely-available could be a consumer-driven catalyst to revolutionize the food system. Overtly focusing on nutritive value in crops - flavor, aroma, and their corollaries - could be a high ground around which the larger food movement can coalesce is an idea that Dan will explore in his presentation. But how do we get there? How do we empirically determine quality? And how do we grow it? In short, the health of our soils, and a regenerative, biologically-focused agriculture is the necessary foundation to growing nutrient-rich food, community health and ecological health. Not to be missed! Learn more and register
