GROUNDED Live - 2025: Dan Kittredge - From Organic Gardener to Global Nutrient Density Activist

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 food festival, a farming conference and a field day. It combines science and technology with ancient wisdom, 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.

GROUNDED is also Australia's only annual, roaming food and farming festival, held in a different farm location every year, so each festival is a unique, unmissable event celebrating local expertise and culture with an inspiring line up of speakers.

In 2026, with the support of the local Upper Barwon and Central Otway Landcare Networks, following successful festivals in Tasmania and Western Australia, GROUNDED FESTIVAL will be held at leading regenerative farm, Yan Yan Gurt West, in the Victorian Otway Ranges, two hours from Melbourne in an area renowned for regenerative agroforestry, tourism, local hospitality and great food and wine.
