Dan Kittredge & Dr. Dan TerAvest - Bionutrient Institute: What causes variation in quality?
Channel: Bionutrient Food Association
Date: 2021-09-23

Dan Kittredge and Dr. Dan TerAvest, soil scientist at Bionutrient Institute partner, Our Sci, present 2020 data from the lab and explore the question: What causes variation in quality? This is the third in the series discussing the work of the Bionutrient Institute and our progress in bringing nutritional transparency to the food supply.

Over the past three years, thousands of food and soil samples have been analyzed from across the United States and Europe, with detailed information collected about how that food was grown and the soil that it was grown in:
    -- review the dramatic variations in nutrient levels across the board that were found in 2020 research year;
    -- review the connections between soil type, variety and management practices that correlate to these nutrient variations;
    -- review the connections between soil carbon, biological activity, management practices and nutrient variation.

Spoiler alert…
Nutrient variation is massive across the board and soil health connects directly to nutrient levels in crops.
