Nutrient Density for Everyone, Everywhere
关于我们
Our Nutrient Density Alliance is made up of key players and pioneers working to drive regenerative agriculture practices and outcomes, nutrient dense food, and improved human health. Our purpose is to ignite awareness and action around nutrient density to drive demand for a regenerative food system by empowering eaters to engage the direct connection between their health and the health of the food system. Let's work together to meaningfully define nutrient density in food, and activate eater demand and use that demand as a primary lever for food system transformation, including deep regenerative agriculture practices, in service of planetary wellbeing.

Wow, congratulations to the entire ReGen Brands team! Brands, businesses and those interested in the benefits of #regenerativeagriculture on food quality: take note! The launch of the ReGen Brands Institute, Coalition, and Capital showcases a comprehensive approach to fostering education, community, and emphasizing the need for access to funding. It's inspiring to see how they're uniting passionate brands and stakeholders under a common vision for a more sustainable future. We are grateful for their relentless dedication and hard work in this movement which so greatly aligns with that of the Nutrient Density Alliance When we grow food that builds the soil, it helps public and planetary health.
We have some very big news to share today! ?? ReGen Brands has launched a new ecosystem to provide education, community, and financing for CPG brands supporting regenerative agriculture. The ecosystem features non-profit and for-profit entities dedicated to nourishing brands that regenerate life. 1?? ReGen Brands Institute: Informing brands that regenerate life. This insights engine provides news, perspectives, and education on the world of regenerative CPG to brands, retailers, investors, and other food system stakeholders. To date, this entity has produced 80 podcasts, 76 email newsletters, and 81 blog posts, becoming the most trusted and followed resource in regenerative CPG. 2?? ReGen Brands Coalition: Unifying brands that regenerate life. This new trade association is the FIRST dedicated community exclusively for brands supporting regenerative agriculture and the FIRST organization to unite brands with various types of regenerative product claims to take collective action for positive change. 3?? ReGen Brands Capital: Funding brands that regenerate life. Coming in 2025, this will be a brand capitalization advisor, provider, and connector, aligning regenerative CPG growth strategies and needs with the most symbiotic funding sources. Capital aims to help close the massive funding gap for regenerative brands by championing new, innovative financial products and fund models. You’ll find all the full information in the press release and on our new website. ??? Press release: https://bit.ly/4f1XIdG ?? Website:?https://bit.ly/4h5sDaG I could write 100 posts about the journey that went into building this and how I’ve never been more convinced that we are the right people in the right place doing the right work. But for now, I’d like to say thank you to the people who’ve made today possible: Kyle - thanks for taking a chance on my crazy idea to start a podcast back in May of 2022, and thanks for riding with me on all the 100 crazy ideas since. Arron - thanks for believing in the vision and for helping to steward these essential months of formation. Our ReGen Brands Institute Board: Kevin, Caroline, & Ben - especially Kevin who has been a cornerstone supporter and thought partner in these early days. Our ReGen Brands Coalition Board: Kyle, Daniela, and Hayley - especially Daniela who has been supporting us for years and is a steadfast champion for progress and unity. And various folks who have worked, volunteered, or interned to help advance all this work in some way: Hannah, Connor, Katey, Alexi, Kristina, Brad, Stacey, and Michelle - we could not have accomplished any of this without the contributions you all made and your level of care for our mission and our community. And last but certainly not least, all of YOU. Anyone who has followed, listened, read, shared, or engaged with our work has made a difference - and we hope we can continue to serve you in new and better ways moving forward.

How do you communicate soil health = human health to consumers? This is an amazing case study of how one brand chose to share their sustainability story and highlight the benefits of #regenerativeagriculture to eaters (and perhaps #retailers #foodserviceprofessionals #dietitians) And yes, we agree that "The health of our bodies depends on how we steward the land." We hope to see #nutrientdensity testing that can highlight the improved nutrition in foods grown in concert with nature. Bravo to Lundberg Family Farms for leading the charge here on effective communications strategies! We hope others will follow suit so we can continue to build this movement.
?? New Regen Ag Communications Case Study!???? We're thrilled to announce the release of a new?UNFI Climate Action Partnership Case Study!

The evidence that #regenerativeagriculture can improve #nutrientdensity is growing, and the food, agriculture, and farming communities are taking notice. We await these results from the Soil Heroes Foundation and plan to celebrate with a nutritious and delicious turnip soup! Got a recipe? Additional benefits shown here so far are higher yields and beautiful produce. Perhaps tastier as well?
These freshly harvested turnips are shaping the future of farming. How? By helping us prove that regenerative farming helps increase our food's nutrient density! Collected from more than 30 regenerative and conventional plots, we’ve now sent them to our farm lab to test for levels of amino acids, vitamins, proteins, minerals, and more. Even before we see the lab results, we’re already noticing interesting differences like: ?? no-till plots offered higher yields than tilled plots ?? companion planted plots had lower yields but prettier produce ?? the plots using our own biofertilizers fared better than the others We'll keep you updated on the lab findings here, of course, but you can learn more about our Nutrient Density Project here: https://lnkd.in/euMManE5

Industrial food production has done a number on the nutrient quality of our food, which can lead to a lack of satiety (which can lead to consuming more calories) and a lack of nutritional sufficiency. All that can result in compromised health. When we don't get the nutrients that the body needs to function...ahem...it doesn't function as optimally. ???? Thanks to one of our valued members WISEcode for the excellent article on this issue of "hidden hunger". ? "A big part of the problem comes from modern farming practices. In the race for higher yields, we’ve prioritized quantity over quality. With high-yield seeds, synthetic fertilizers, and pesticides, we’ve ramped up production but sacrificed the nutrient content of our food. " ?? They aptly identify #regenerativeagriculture as part of the solution to creating more biodiverse and #nutrientrich foods and make the case for how our health is inextricably linked to the health of the land. #hiddenhunger #biodiversity #planetaryhealth
?? Did you know our plates may be full, but our bodies could be starved for nutrients? In our latest article, we dive into the concept of nutrient density and explore how modern agricultural practices have contributed to hidden hunger. Discover the importance of restoring nutrient-rich foods and how regenerative agriculture can pave the way for a healthier future. Join the conversation on nourishing our bodies and reshaping our food systems! ???? Read more here: https://lnkd.in/gafj8-dk #NutrientDensity #HiddenHunger #Agriculture #FoodForThought

Fascinating findings! It is encouraging to see how #regenerativeagriculture not only enhances #soilhealth but also boosts crop yields in the face of climate change. As we confront increasing pressures on our food systems, methods that enrich soil and support biodiversity are imperative to resilience. ?? And study after study, research paper after research paper, (or just ask a number of soil scientists) show that healthier soil creates more nutritious foods, which can ultimately serve human health. ? So glad to have Merge Impact as a member who continues to advocate for implementation of these sustainable solutions! If you want to collect your own data here, check out the services they offer.
Let's talk about this... More evidence conservation agriculture solves real problems for food systems and agriculture at scale. Does your data allow you to interpret feedback from you supply chain? Do you know how take action? https://lnkd.in/ek83frBS

We know that healthy soil with a #biodiverse microbiome is linked to a healthier human #gutmicrobiome. The way we grow food not only has an impact on our nutrient status but also affects how our microbiome functions, which can have huge implications for human health. ???? Brava to one of our valued members Basil's Harvest for continuing to highlight these connections and spreading the word on this important topic that will have benefits for our external and internal ecosystems. ???? Thanks to WholeFoods Magazine for amplifying this work. We hope more #retailers will step up and advocate around how #regenerative #organic and #climatesmart farming practices serve our soil and our health.
Basil's Harvest recently launched a knowledge assessment survey: “The Microbiome Around and Within Us-Soil to Humans.”?Learn how you can participate & gain more information on our website. ?? https://bit.ly/3Y74isl #health #foodsystem #guthealth #microbiome

We are thrilled to celebrate the news of one of our valued members Seven Sundays who was recognized for their commitment to creating a healthy, high-quality food that was produced sustainably. ?? They are just one of the brands/businesses in our community dedicating to protecting our ecosystems and preserving #biodiversity. For instance, over "98% of their ingredients by weight are diversified,?like oats, flax, sunflower, and buckwheat, which are a great pollinator food source and has soil-health benefits as a cover crop.??" ?? What we know about healthy soil is that it usually produces more nutrient-rich food. ?? Thanks to #MensHealthMagazine for calling out products that support #planetary health. We hope more magazines will do the same.
Thank you to Men's Health for including our Simply Honey Oat Protein Cereal in their latest round-up of "8 High Protein Cereals to Start Your Busy Day Off Right"! https://lnkd.in/g3DPta4j Our Oat Protein Cereal is the first of its kind made with upcycled oats from oat milk production and real simple ingredients found in our kitchen. Even better—our upcycled oat protein has 3x the protein and 2x the fiber as the whole oat. It’s good for you and the darn whole planet! #upcycled #breakfast #innovation

"Collaboration" and "strategic partnerships" are and will continue to be the bread and butter (regeneratively grown, of course) of this movement. They also happen to be core values of the work we do! ?? The below panel with one of our members, Anchor Ingredients Company at the Regrow Agriculture Resilience Summit sounds like it was a winner. Collaborating on #regenerativeagriculture efforts definitely is a win-win-win for more sustainable supply chains. And, we might add, a healthier and more nutritious supply chain as well. We are proud of one of our members dedicated to the cause:
At the Regrow Agriculture Resilience Summit, our CEO Al Yablonski joined Chris Walberg, one of Anchor's top regenerative grower partners, and Adam Hardie from Mars Pet Nutrition North America for an insightful panel discussion titled Win-Win-Win: Expanding Business Across the Value Chain. They shared how collaboration across the entire supply chain can lead to real sustainability solutions, and through smart, strategic partnerships, both upstream and downstream players can achieve greater success by working closer together. A huge thank you to Regrow Ag for hosting such a forward-thinking event and allowing us the opportunity to be part of it. #FarmtoFood #Sustainability #SupplyChain #RegenerativeAgriculture
