About Speaker

An organic farmer for more than 30 years, Dan is the founder and executive director of the Bionutrient Food Association, an 8 year-old, non-profit, educational organization, whose mission is to “increase quality in the food supply.” Known as one of the leading proponents of “nutrient density,” Dan has worked to demonstrate the connections between plant health, soil health, carbon sequestration, crop nutritional value, flavor, and human health. Out of these efforts, the Real Food Campaign was born. The Real Food Campaign has engineered the prototype of a hand-held consumer spectrometer that is designed to test nutrient density at point of purchase, thereby empowering the consumer to choose for nutrient quality. Via this tool, the deeper goal is to connect the economic incentives of consumers to growers to drive full-system regeneration.
