Bellingham, Wash., March 05, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- As consumer interest grows around the health and sustainability benefits of food, today the Nutrient Density Alliance released guidelines for brands looking to substantiate nutrient density claims related to their regenerative agriculture practices.

Key Points: 
  • Bellingham, Wash., March 05, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- As consumer interest grows around the health and sustainability benefits of food, today the Nutrient Density Alliance released guidelines for brands looking to substantiate nutrient density claims related to their regenerative agriculture practices.
  • The Nutrient Density Alliance is a pre-competitive effort sponsored by the Soil & Climate Alliance and the Non-GMO Project that focuses on connecting regenerative agriculture practices, soil health and human health outcomes.
  • Yet, though their interest is high, their knowledge is low — a gap the new white paper bridges by helping brands engage consumers directly about nutrient density outcomes from their regenerative programs.
  • “Engaging Consumers On Regenerative Agriculture: How Brands Can Integrate Nutrient Density for Top-line Growth'' provides practical guidance to help brands engage consumers around scientifically-backed nutrition outcomes made possible through regenerative agriculture.
