Whether you are an enthusiast, amateur or commercial gardener, grower or farmer, nobody knows more about what really makes plants optimise their nutrition than Dan Kittredge, founder of the BioNutrient Institute and Executive Director of the BioNutrient Food Association. Dan is the son of prominent leaders in the organic movement and has been an organic farmer since childhood. His experience managing organic farms and developing sustainable agriculture techniques is unparalled. Dan is passionate about raising the quality of nutrition in our food supply through collaboration with committed individuals, businesses, and organizations such as Food for the Brain that support the value of people growing and eating really good food.
This hands on practical workshop provides an overview of six principles and practices of biological farming that increase the health of your soil and crops for greater yields, healthier produce and better marketability. It all happens in that first six inches of soil which we will learn how to turn into a hot bed of life. Thousands of growers have attended his courses since 2010.
Participation-based with questions and answers, the workshop is designed for growers, farmers and gardeners of any type to learn current research and proven methods, and go step-by-step through the processes that will lead to optimum crop health and sustained yield.

The workshop is designed to help participants grasp and apply innovative, reliable principles and practices for producing healthier, better tasting and more nutritious food crops. The course begins with an analysis of participants’ soil tests, and a discussion of recommended soil amendments and cover crops to address soil health deficiencies. We follow with a number of topics and themes related to helping plants achieve their full genetic potential through management of the environmental factors of soil, air, water, minerals and biodiversity. We will immerse ourselves further with a review of plant nutritional needs by growth stage and an array of troubleshooting and diagnostic approaches to guide you throughout the growing season.

“This course made me realize that all food is not equal. Although one carrot may look similar to another carrot, there’s a mountain of potential differences in how and where it was planted, taken care of and harvested. – I see now why the Bionutrient Meter is an essential tool for the future of food.” Adam P.
“Participating in “Principles in Biological Systems” was a true pleasure. It was an experience I will not soon stop pondering. I am all in on the practical information and truly trying to question my own practices and thoughts on what I do and why I do it. I also immensely enjoyed what was well hidden behind the science and those moments, ponderances and deeper conversations were actually the most valuable concepts for me to take home and sit with. I seriously feel giddy about the actual, tangible possibilities. Thank you.” – Shauna E

” There are often twenty-fold differences in the nutrient quality and quantity of the same food, which makes the statement ‘you can get all the nutrients you need from a well balanced diet’ meaningless.
More than anyone I know Dan knows why and how to perfect the way you grow food, on a small or large scale, to maximise both nutrition and yield. In this workshop you will learn the state of the art of the science of working with plant biology to achieve optimum nutrition.
As an aspiring grower of much of my own food, I want to know how to do it right. That’s why I’ve invited leading expert, Dan Kittredge to our farm and Food Fforest at Forest Coal Pit, near Abergavenny in the Black Mountains of Wales.”
Patrick Holford, founder of the Institute for Optimum Nutrition and the Food for the Brain Foundation.
