He grew up on Many Hands Organic Farm in central Massachusetts with his parents, Julie Rawson, long time NOFA/Mass Executive Director; and Jack Kittredge, publisher of The Natural Farmer. After working globally in the late 90s and early 2000s with farmers, NGOs, and researchers across India, Russia, and Central America, Dan returned to the U.S., and in 2010 launched the Bionutrient Food Association (BFA), in order to ignite a movement around food quality.
Dan has become one of the leading proponents of “nutrient density,” and works to demonstrate the connections between soil health, plant health, and human health through workshops and speaking engagements around the world, the annual Soil and Nutrition Conference, and an increased presence online through social media, a KZfaq channel, and numerous webinars and podcasts.
