The solution beneath our feet – how connecting soil health, plant health and human health can transform our food system
Venue: Clore Learning Space
Farmer and holistic systems-thinker Dan Kittredge is making it his life’s work to increase the nutritional quality of the food we grow and eat. For the past 30 years Dan has been farming organically in Massachusetts and since 2010, as founder and chief executive of the Bionutrient Food Association, coordinating cutting-edge research into plant nutrient density.
Dan will delve into the practicalities of revitalising our land to create the conditions in which our plants’ microbiomes – and in turn our own gut biome – can flourish. He will share his vision of how we can do so at scale and, in so doing, reverse chronic disease while sequestering consequential amounts of carbon. He will also reveal highlights from the open-source work he has been engaged in to empower consumer choice and build transparency in the food system.
Whether you’re a farmer, market gardener, a domestic or armchair gardener you will go away inspired with a keener understanding of the intricate interplay between soil health, plant vitality and human wellbeing. There will be plenty of time for questions at the end so come and join the conversation!
