GROUNDED Live
GROUNDED Festival is a cross between a farming conference and a food 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.
With multiple stages running concurrently, 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.
Each year we record presentations and make them available, free for all, as a podcast called GROUNDED Live. We hope you enjoy the conversations.

GROUNDED Live - 2025: Dan Kittredge & Matthew Evans - The Nutrient Density Conundrum

In this episode of GROUNDED Live, we close out the GROUNDED Festival 2025 program with a very special, very free-wheeling session.
If you’ve been to the last couple of GROUNDED festivals — in Tasmania or WA — you’ll already know Dan Kittredge. Dan pioneered the modern concept of nutrient density, asking the deceptively simple question: What’s actually in our food, and does it matter? His work has shaped conversations around soil health, plant health and human health across the globe.
This session took place at the end of two big days of talks. Everyone’s brains were full, spirits were high, and rather than ask Dan for another structured presentation, we decided to poke his mind and see where it wandered. The invitation was simple: think big, think wide, throw all the ideas in the air and see where they land.
They landed in some unexpected, challenging, delightful and occasionally strange places. There were moments that made us laugh, moments that made us squirm, and even moments that brought us close to tears.
It’s raw, expansive, honest and deeply human — the perfect way to wrap up an incredible two days at GROUNDED.
Settle in and enjoy this closing session with Dan Kittredge on GROUNDED Live.
