With the help of various Brazilian Institutions, the congress will cover topics on the most recent cutting edge research, as well as regulation and mineral production for soil remineralization to form a coherent policy making strategy. The conference will be attended by Carlos Cristan and Alberto Machado, our international coordinator in Brazil as well as many agrogeologists from Canada and South America.

The Real Food Campaign of Remineralize the Earth is growing Nutrient Dense Food. Nutrient Dense Food is grown using the soil's natural biological, chemical and physical properties to yield amazing produce that tastes better, has a longer shelf life and is higher in vitamins, carbohydrates, minerals, enzymes, antioxidants and trace minerals. Nourishing Our Bodies and Our Planet. Also-- Growing Nutrient Dense food is good for the environment-- it places valuable minerals back into the soil, reduces flooding by changing the flocculation levels of the soil and increases carbon sequestration. Not to mention no more need for chemical remedies that harm the planet and our water supply! Making a change in every aspect of our lives--just by changing the way we view food!

Please join us for an evening filled with opportunities for nourishment. Come learn about the Real Food Campaign, Nutrient Dense Food, how to improve your soil and grow food with more nutrients and what to do to make this resource more available. The money invested now can have an exponential value down the road.

Don Weaver of RTE has written a letter to President Obama, highlighting several ecological issues and explaining the importance of soil remineralization.

"This letter is intended to share lesser-known ideas and insights which may be of great value to the Obama administration and the citizens of America and the world. Offered are some foundational solutions to malnutrition, soil degradation, deforestation, climate change, and other interconnected problems of failing ecosystems and failing economies. If you, too, wish to help create a healthy future for humanity and the Earth, then this letter is written for you. Feel free to share it widely."

The produce from his fields is so bursting with taste and nutrition, that a number of years ago, he was hand picked by world-famous chef Alice Waters to supply fruits and vegetables to her Chez Panisse restaurant.
