In this episode of GROUNDED Live, we bring you another unedited presentation recorded at GROUNDED Festival 2025 in Bridgetown, Western Australia.

This session features Dan Kittredge, an American organic farmer with more than 30 years’ experience and the founder and executive director of the Bionutrient Food Association (BFA) — a nonprofit dedicated to improving food quality from the soil up. Widely recognised as one of the world’s leading voices on nutrient density, Dan has spent his career demonstrating the deep, inseparable links between soil health, plant health and human health.

With his trademark clarity, curiosity and a brain “the size of a planet,” Dan dives into the Principles of Biological Systems - exploring how life functions, interacts and adapts, and what these processes can teach us about growing better, more nutritious food.

It’s an energising, mind-stretching session from one of the most compelling thinkers in the regenerative movement.

Settle in and enjoy Dan Kittredge on GROUNDED Live.

GROUNDED Festival is a cross between a farming conference and a food festival, held on a different farm each year. Every festival is unique, celebrating the people, landscapes and food of its host region through an inspiring line-up of speakers, local producers and hands-on learning.

With multiple stages running concurrently, GROUNDED brings together science and technology, ancient wisdom and fresh thinking. It provides a respectful place for lively discussion, an audience as interesting as the speakers, and an excellent menu of local food, drinks and music, all on a beautiful, regeneratively managed farm.

Each year, we record many of the presentations and make them freely available as the GROUNDED Live podcast. We hope you enjoy the conversations.

Thanks for listening, and if you enjoy this episode, we'd love to welcome you to a future GROUNDED Festival.
