Real Food CampaignReal Food Campaign Nutrient Density as quality standard is, as of yet,
not technically defined.
A collaborative process of specialists in theproduction of Nutrient Dense Crops is currentlyunderway to determine a clear, inexpensiveempirical test for all agricultural crops. Thisprocess will conclude in one to two years.
This is a project of the Real Food Campaign, whichwill be touched on at the end of this workshop.
The current working suggestions include a fieldBrix test, calcium, magnesium, vitamin A, vitamin Cand selenium level and ratio tests and antioxidantlevels lab tests.

plant growth and production ispH 6.4
If sap pH exceeds 6.4, thisprobably means a shortage ofthe anions nitrogen, phosphateor sulfur. At pH 8 the odds ofinsect trouble is 100%.
Conversely, if sap pH is lowerthan 6.4, then there is a cationproblem, with possibledeficiencies of calcium,magnesium, potassium and/orsodium. Low sap pH suggests afar greater potential forfoliar disease. At pH 4.5 theprobability for fungalappearance is 100%.
Ideal sap pH-level for optimalplant growth and production ispH 6.4
If sap pH exceeds 6.4, thisprobably means a shortage ofthe anions nitrogen, phosphateor sulfur. At pH 8 the odds ofinsect trouble is 100%.
Conversely, if sap pH is lowerthan 6.4, then there is a cationproblem, with possibledeficiencies of calcium,magnesium, potassium and/orsodium. Low sap pH suggests afar greater potential forfoliar disease. At pH 4.5 theprobability for fungalappearance is 100%.

Nutrient Density as aquality standard
Nutrient Density as aquality standard
When the biological system is functioning at ahigh level there are direct mineral vitamintrace element and nutrient improvements thatare easily verifiable in crops.
This nutrient improvement referred to asnutrient density is the general standard tovalidate the success of biological agriculture.
From the consumer's perspective, NutrientDense crops correlate directly with superiorflavor, superior shelf life and a broad rangeof health benefits related to the body'scomplete nutritional needs being met.
