Dear All, Thought folks would be interested in a new farmer led and citizen's science project. It involves an open source hand held bionutrient meter that has been developed by an organic farmer, Dan Kittredge, CEO of the Bionutrient Food Association, USA. Please see below for further info and spread far and wide, I'm sure the UK workshops in April with Dan will be inspiring and informative! Best, Jenna ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Matthew Adams <[email protected]> Date: Thu, Jan 23, 2020 at 5:28 PM Subject: some Grffn links To: Jenna Higgins <[email protected]> We had such a lot of interest with the Brix testing and Bionutrient Meter that it created quite a buzz. This culminated in an interview on the Radio 4 Today programme on Friday 10th January 2020. The following clip, with video, was shared on Twitter: <https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Ftwitter.com%2FBBCr4today%2Fstatus%2F1215573832922292224%3Fs%3D20&data=02%7C01%7C%7C218ed4163efe4738b92708d79f7ff3c6%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637153244202778151&sdata=808QYngNR9KC1Hv3eY5ALQi8NKz29Jt2RFfSe4BHYSk%3D&reserved=0> https://twitter.com/BBCr4today/status/1215573832922292224?s=20 <https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Ftwitter.com%2FBBCr4today%2Fstatus%2F1215573832922292224%3Fs%3D20&data=02%7C01%7C%7C218ed4163efe4738b92708d79f7ff3c6%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637153244202788163&sdata=DRuYXP0wTCMD7%2FFi%2F1iWDqRZl%2BAJ4cDS%2Bb7ekEClOak%3D&reserved=0> *Sign up to Grffn* Growing Real Food for Nutrition (Grffn) is a new initiative promoting the importance of growing, eating and measuring (the quality of) nutrient dense food.
