Nutrient Density Alliance
online learning and resource hub
Regenerative Agriculture and Nutrient Density Go Hand-in-Hand
The demand for nutrient-dense food is here.
As eaters, we are becoming increasingly conscious of the impact our choices can make on both the environment and our personal well-being. We seek products that align with our values.
The opportunity for farmers and food company leaders to highlight the relationship between soil health and nutrient density can inspire a profound shift towards a food system that nourishes both people and the planet. When the soil is regenerated, it becomes a rich source of essential nutrients, leading to the production of healthier, tastier, more nutritious crops. Through our online learning and resource hub, we can cultivate this growing demand for a regenerative system. Reach out to us to learn more about how the Nutrient Density Alliance can help you on this journey.

Rodale Institute’s Regenerative Healthcare Conference
This conference is the first of its kind in the world and aims to connect soil health with human health. There is a fundamental, epidemic-level disconnect between farming and healthcare. The Regenerative Healthcare Conference seeks to remedy this gap.
Our Global Partner: Coalition of Health Professionals for Regenerative Agriculture
The Coalition of Health Professionals for Regenerative Agriculture is made up of a team passionate for soil, agroecology and health. They want food to be first medicine to all disease, to be grown regeneratively with higher nutritional values, and to help scale regenerative agriculture through nutrition awareness. They believe that nutritious food and regenerated land can prevent and potentially reverse diseases. Their Regenerative Health Database is made up of a variety of useful tools and resources.
