Description: The science of nutrient density in food and what causes it. At the Institute, we recognize that soil, plant, animal, human and environmental health are intimately connected.
We recognize that soil health is intimately connected to plant, animal, environmental and human health. Our vision is to deepen our understanding of those connections and thereby support the potential of Life. Our intention is to collaborate with allies who also see the opportunities to make the focus of agriculture be quality and nutrition in order to support the systems that provide sustenance, sustainability and human evolution.

The Bionutrient Institute labs were established to bring empirical definition to the term Nutrient Density. It’s there that we assess crops for a suite of elements and compounds to identify the variation that exists in the food supply. With that information we are able to determine the relative nutrient density of one crop to another.
