Certificate-Level Masterclass in Nutrient-Dense Food Production by Dan Kittredge

Dan Kittredge, a lifelong organic farmer, educator, and founder of the Bionutrient Food Association (BFA), is set to launch the world’s first Certificate Level Masterclass in Nutrient-Dense Food Production in New Zealand (March) and Australia (April).

This unique two-part, seasonal Masterclass offers a transformative approach to food production, empowering individuals to understand the science of producing nutrient-dense crops—those with superior nutritional content and natural resilience. The course is designed to improve food quality while boosting productivity and profitability for food producers, with ongoing support and follow-up provided throughout the program to ensure successful accreditation.

With more than 30 years of experience as an organic farmer, Kittredge founded the Bionutrient Food Association (BFA), a non-profit with a mission to “increase quality in the food supply.” As the creator of the term nutrient density, he has spent his career exploring and demonstrating the critical connections between soil health, plant health, and human health. His dedication to improving food quality led to the creation of the Real Food Campaign, which evolved into the Bionutrient Institute. The Institute engineered a groundbreaking innovation, the Bionutrient Meter, a handheld consumer spectrometer designed to measure nutrient density at the point of purchase. This cutting-edge technology empowers consumers to make informed choices based on nutrient quality, leveraging economic incentives to promote regeneration across the entire food system. As a result, informed consumer choice has the potential to transform market access and food systems in general, driving both demand for nutrient-dense food and creating sustainable, regenerative food production models.

“I’ve spent decades working to show how food systems can nourish both the land and the people who rely on it,” said Kittredge. “When plants are nourished with complete and balanced nutrition, they become naturally more resistant to disease and pests, leading to higher productivity and improved profitability. This Masterclass is designed to give participants the tools to foster regenerative food systems that benefit farmers and the planet alike.”

Having featured on prestigious platforms such as The Dr. Hyman Show, Dave Asprey’s The Human Upgrade, Patrick Holford’s Simple Wisdom for a Healthy Life, The Happy Pear podcast, Northern Australia Food Futures, Deep Seed – Regenerative Agriculture, Digging in the Dirt, Investing in Regenerative Agriculture and Food, NOFA/Mass Podcast, and Future of Agriculture, Kittredge has gained widespread recognition as a leader in soil science and nutrient density. His work has helped solidify his standing as a trusted expert, where his insights on how nutrient-dense foods can prevent chronic disease and enhance well-being resonate with audiences interested in both nutrition and regenerative farming.

The Masterclass Kittredge is offering will build on these principles, equipping participants with the knowledge and skills to create nutrient-dense food systems that support both human health and planetary sustainability. The course will be delivered as a two-part series spread over two seasons, with ongoing support and follow-up provided to ensure participants are fully equipped to apply the principles learned. Upon completion, and after verifying their capacity to produce high nutrient-dense crops, participants will receive accreditation in recognition of their capacity to produce nutrient-dense food.

Course Topics Include:

• Understanding the role of minerals, enzymes, and soil chemistry in plant health
• Sourcing and balancing minerals for optimal crop production
• Making and evaluating inoculants for soil health
• The impact of nutrient density on human health and chronic disease prevention
• The connection between nutrient density, consciousness, and well-being
• Understanding plant life cycles and their parallels to animals
• Addressing plant trauma and epigenetics in seed quality
• Methods for reversing desertification and regenerating the land
• Visionary practices for creating a culture in harmony with nature
• Insights from agricultural pioneers and elders
• The structure and importance of water beyond just H2O
• Redefining food quality, including its mental and emotional nourishment
• Practical applications for balancing soil minerals and improving fertility
• Exploring how nature communicates through energy and frequency and how pests choose which crops to attack
• Understanding the impact of industrial agribusiness practices on food systems and how to shift toward more sustainable, regenerative models

Kittredge’s extensive experience and passion for regenerative farming and sustainable food systems make this Masterclass a one-of-a-kind opportunity for anyone eager to explore the science of soil and plant health and how these principles can enhance health outcomes and support environmental regeneration.

Join Dan on this transformative journey to cultivate not only food but a movement—one that revitalizes the soil, strengthens communities, and redefines how we nourish ourselves and the planet. This is the first of its kind and an incredibly exciting opportunity for anyone passionate about changing the way we produce food.
