Eco-Ag U - Dan Kittredge - Principles of Biological Systems
Ballroom Salon A-C — Dan Kittredge: Principles Of Biological Systems
Description:
Join farmer, educator, and founder of the Bionutrient Food Association Dan Kittredge for a deep dive into the core principles that drive biological farming systems.
In this intensive Eco-Ag U session, Dan distills decades of research and practice — including wisdom from Acres U.S.A. elders — into a simplified yet powerful framework designed to guide growers toward highly nutrient-dense crops.
Participants will explore how soil biology, mineral balance, plant vitality, and management practices intersect to influence the nutrient density of crops — and, ultimately, farm profitability. This integrated approach provides a roadmap for growers to observe, measure, and manage their systems more effectively.
You’ll leave this session with:
A clear understanding of the core principles of biological systems that underpin regenerative farming.
Practical strategies for aligning soil, plant, and ecosystem processes to increase nutrient density and crop quality.
Insights on how to apply these principles at any scale, from market gardens to broad-acre operations.
A renewed connection to the historical knowledge that laid the foundation for Acres U.S.A.’s ecological agriculture movement.
Whether you’re new to biological farming or refining an established system, this session offers tools and insights to elevate your operation and strengthen the link between soil health, crop vitality, and human nutrition.
Eco-Ag U - Mark Shepard - Ecological Agriculture & Land Investment: Building the Farms of the Future
Ballroom Salon E — Mark Shepard:
Description:
Regenerative agriculture doesn’t just heal land — it creates real, lasting opportunity. In this full-day intensive, Mark Shepard, author of Restoration Agriculture, explores how ecological design, water management, and smart land investment intersect to build profitable, resilient farms for the next generation.
Mark will unpack the economic and ecological frameworks that allow farmers, investors, and landowners to work together — creating partnerships that restore landscapes while generating long-term value. Through real-world examples and decades of experience, he’ll show how water systems, perennial crops, and integrated farm design can turn land ownership into ecological wealth.
This is the session for those looking to build — or invest in — the future of agriculture.

- Real-world research on glyphosate residues in food, water, animals, and people
- Links between glyphosate use and chronic illness, livestock disorders, and microbial collapse
- Emerging soil remediation practices and microbial detox strategies
- Proven alternatives to chemical weed control and conventional fertilization
- How to rebuild a functioning, profitable farm ecosystem beyond glyphosate
This symposium features a rare convergence of scientists, doctors, and farmers with deep firsthand experience confronting the glyphosate era—and building pathways beyond it.

Eco-Ag U - Neal Kinsey - Soil Fertility - Guidelines to Measure in Order to Manage It
Ballroom Salon A-C — Neal Kinsey: Soil Fertility - Guidelines to Measure in Order to Manage It.
In "The Other Side of the Fence" Dr. William Albrecht, one of the pioneers in the use of soil microbiology right on the farm, shows various vegetables that look the same, but one has far better nutrient content.
Testing can be done as proof, but presently such testing is very expensive.
What can farmers, ranchers, gardener's and all types of growers use to measure what the soil and plants need to do their best using good common sense and hand's on methods for verification?
Some clients have come to us because what they thought the best plan to supply what was needed eventually became the problem.
Many "good plans" are just heading for disaster, but it can take years of blaming the weather or the seed, etc., before the real problems become evident. Then it costs far more to solve problems which could have been avoided.

What if the secret to human health wasn’t just in the clinic—but in the soil? In this deep-dive Eco-Ag U workshop, physician and soil scientist Dr. Arden Andersen explores the powerful connections between nutrient density, endocrine balance, soil biology, and disease. Drawing from decades of experience in both regenerative agriculture and holistic medicine, Dr. Andersen will challenge modern assumptions about diet, farming, and disease—and provide a roadmap toward healing both body and land.
Attendees will explore foundational questions:
-What is health, really—and how do we measure it?
-What did our ancestors actually eat—and what have we lost?
-How do soil nutrition, food quality, and hormone disruptors influence chronic disease?
-Can we use therapeutic diets and lifestyle shifts to reverse illness?
This is more than a class—it’s a paradigm shift. Whether you're a farmer, healthcare provider, food producer, or simply someone seeking clarity in a world of dietary confusion, this workshop offers the tools and insight to radically rethink the soil-to-human health connection.
