Dan Kittredge
Director

Dan is director of the Real Food Campaign and past executive director of Remineralize the Earth. Dan grew up on a farm the son of two prominent leaders in the organic farming movement: Julie Rawson and Jack Kittredge. He manages two organic farms currently, and has worked directly with farmers in Central America, Russia and India as well as across the USA researching and developing sustainable agriculture techniques.

Dan is the strategic developer behind the Real Food Campaign. He is passionate about raising the quality of nutrition in our food supply through collaboration with all interested stakeholders, from growers to grocery stores. He is currently teaching biological soil management systems to farmers and gardeners throughout the Northeastern USA and has called for the first National Conference on Nutrient Dense Food.

Dan's vision includes a highly educated public that appreciates the benefits of nutrient dense food and seeks it out, wholesalers and retailers who understand the market potential and sources of supply, a robust distribution system, and a synergistic web of connection between the farming community, labs for soil and tissue testing, and biological farming consultants who help farmers to make it happen. Critical to Dan's vision is the development of rigorous standards certifying food as nutrient dense.

Eric S. Fisher
Director of Informational Technology

Eric brings over 40 years' experience in information technology development and management to this position. With proven leadership abilities, he is well suited to guide the development of the data management capabilities of the Real Food Campaign. In his varied career, he has led software and hardware evaluation teams, managed software and hardware acquisition projects, and designed and developed enterprise software and data systems. His goals for the Real Food Campaign data systems are to provide the ability:

• for growers to meet each other, to get support collecting their data and getting certifications, to evaluate the results of their soil amendment programs, and to find suppliers of the soil amendments they need to grow nutrient dense crops;
• for consumers to find information on the benefits of nutrient density and growers of nutrient dense food near them;
• for anyone to access our document library on nutrient density and sustainable agriculture for their own education and research;
• and for researchers to collect data they need to analyze nutrient dense growing techniques and measure their results.

Better known for his talents as a system and data architect than as a grower, Eric also has been interested in organic gardening, nutrition and sustainable agriculture for many years. He grows blueberries, raspberries, asparagus, tomatoes, potatoes, and many other vegetables in his organic garden. He sees the Real Food Campaign as an excellent opportunity to use his skills to support these interests.

Eric's other interests include music and politics. He sings, plays piano and trombone, and is a member of the Indian Hill Big Band.

Christopher Pietras
Director of Web Development

Chris has been designing and building web sites and applications for over 10 years. His work has ranged from small portfolio sites for artists, timber framers, and sheep farmers to larger projects for clients such as the US Fish & Wildlife Service, UBS Investment Bank, General Electric, and NBC Universal.

A reformed poet and stubborn believer in the full circle that reality is born of language, all language is code, and code is poetry, he still builds sites the old-fashioned way – by hand. Yet, while he enjoys wrestling with scripts into the wee hours of the night, with a pot of coffee on the stove, he is happiest rising with the sun to pick dew-wet berries, or on his knees with soil beneath the fingernails, humbled before a row of carrots just breaking through from the other side to greet the yawning world.
