Farm intelligence · nutrient density
Understand how farming shapes nutrient density.
We turn farm data, food measurements and research into practical intelligence for farmers and food businesses.
Founded by farmers. Working across the food system.
The Field Report · Week 45
Drought, GLP-1 drugs, milk prices and what is in our beef
A weather week on the farming shows: drought, heat and volatile seasons, and the money that followed, while the nutrition shows talked about GLP-1 weight-loss drugs.
What led the week
- Extreme weather hits yields
- Soil and pasture profit returns
- GLP-1 drugs and diet

The evidence
Know what the research supports.
Pulse Brain brings together 36,000+ scientific records on farming, soil, food and health. Each is graded for strength, summarised in plain language and checked for retractions and duplicates.
Our Growing Health Report draws on +3,000 peer-reviewed studies.
“We, at the Bionutrient Institute, are delighted to be working with Vitagri to accelerate the measurement of how farming can increase nutritional density.”
Our purpose
Make nutrient density count.
Measure the nutrients in food. Understand the farming behind it. Help farmers gain recognition for nutritional quality, across farming systems. What is nutrient-dense food?
Research in development
Testing what farming data can predict.
Our predictive research tests whether farming records can forecast food nutrient composition, and food measurements can help check how it was grown. These models need validation across farms and seasons.
