About the Real Food Campaign
The Nutrient Dense Food Project is:
- Organizing and educating consumers to lobby retailers (grocery stores, CSA's, farmers markets, food coops, etc.) to provide nutrient dense food.
- Recruiting and training farmers to produce nutrient dense crops and provide them to the retailers who want them.
- Coordinating specialists in the field to develop standards for nutrient density.
- Creating educational materials that explain the importance of nutrient dense crops to consumers.
- Working with agronomists and agricultural consultants to educate about the new markets and premiums available with nutrient dense food.
- Joining with land grant colleges to develop research projects that prove the effectiveness of various strategies for growing nutrient dense food.
- Creating a coherent strategy for the campaign by actively listening to and integrating the wisdom and experience of all constituencies.
