🥕 Did you know? Between 1950 and 1999, 43 crops in the US lost nutrients: –16% calcium, –15% iron, –38% vitamin B2.
You can eat enough and still lack vitamins and minerals. It’s called “hidden hunger”, and it affects over 2 billion people.

So what can farming do about it?
We just hosted a webinar on exactly that!

3 takeaways:
🌿 Healthy soil, healthy plants, healthy people. Farmers can start by testing the nutrient content of their crops in local labs and comparing results with regional reference data for similar crops.
🔬 NutriScope, a pocket-sized spectrometer, lets farmers check their plants right in the field.
🚜 Farming practices shape the nutritional quality of our plants, and even what’s in our milk and meat.

👏 A big thank you to Raiza (RHEA), Alaa (SENSEEN) and Maëlle (House of Agroecology) for sharing their knowledge and perspectives, and to everyone who joined us for such an engaging discussion!

At House of Agroecology, we want to keep exploring these connections between healthy soils, nutritious food and healthier people.

💸 Minder sp***en. Minder strooien. Meer overhouden.
Klinkt goed, toch? Maar hoe begin je eraan?

🌱 Met groenbemesters, een gezonde bodem, slimme teeltrotaties en een gerichtere bemesting kan je je afhankelijkheid van dure inputs stap voor stap verminderen.

🚜 Tijdens Boer van de Toekomst BASIC ontdek je hoe je dat aanpakt op jouw eigen bedrijf.

Geen voorkennis nodig. Geen grote veranderingen van vandaag op morgen. Gewoon praktische kennis en haalbare oplossingen.

🔬 From plant health to nutritional value : what can data tell us ?

We know that healthy soils are essential for healthy crops. But how can we measure what's happening inside a plant, understand its nutritional balance and use that information to improve agricultural practices?
And can these measurements help us better understand the connection between the way we grow our food and its nutritional quality?

🌱 This is where hashtag can become a powerful tool for hashtag .

By measuring indicators such as nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, calcium and trace elements, alongside plant stress indicators such as hashtag and hashtag potential, farmers can gain valuable insights into how their crops respond to their environment and management practices.

These data can help identify nutrient imbalances, monitor plant health over time and inform decisions on fertilisation and crop management.

But they also raise a broader question: can we use plant health data to better understand how agricultural practices influence the nutritional composition of our food?

🎙️ On 29 October, we're delighted to welcome Alaa Ben Fatma, co-founder and CTO of SENSEEN, to our webinar.

Alaa will introduce hashtag , a portable tool using spectroscopy and artificial intelligence to analyse plant health and nutrient levels.
He will explore how this technology works, what information it can provide to farmers, how it can support agroecological decision-making, and where its current limitations lie.

🌍 From soil health to plant nutrition and human health, this is another way of exploring the One Health approach: connecting agricultural practices with measurable outcomes, while continuing to investigate their implications for food quality.

Join us for our webinar on nutritional value next week !

☀️ Te veel regen of te weinig? Je bodem maakt het verschil!

Na veel regen wil je zo snel mogelijk weer het land op. En als het wekenlang droog blijft, wil je dat je gewassen voldoende water vinden.

🌱 Een goede bodemstructuur helpt bij allebei!
💧 Regenwater kan beter infiltreren, zodat je sneller opnieuw het land op kan.
☀️ Bij droogte houdt een gezonde bodem meer water beschikbaar voor je gewassen.

Maar hoe krijg je zo'n bodem?

🚜 Tijdens Boer van de Toekomst BASIC ontdek je hoe je stap voor stap je bodem kan verbeteren.
🌿 3 praktijkmomenten op landbouwbedrijven
💻 3 online lessen
🎯 Concrete tips voor je eigen bedrijf

📅 Het programma (13.00–15.30 uur):
16/11 – Lennik: bodem en groenbemesters
26/11 – Online: de bodem als basis
10/12 – Moorsele: teeltrotatie en bodembedekking
18/12 – Online: mechanisatie en bodembewerking
06/01 – Online: bemesting en gewasbescherming
19/01 – Sint-Gillis-Waas: kringlopen en actieplan

You've probably heard about "food as medicine" and "One Health".

We all know that eating a healthy, balanced diet is essential for our health.

But here's a question we haven't addressed fully yet : can farming practices affect the vitamins, minerals and other beneficial compounds in our food? And can healthier soils contribute to healthier people?

🌍 Soil health, plant health, animal health and human health are interconnected. Yet agriculture and healthcare are still too often treated as separate worlds.

RHEA - Regenerative Healthcare European Association wants to change that.
Through its Manifesto for One Health in Europe, RHEA calls for a closer connection between agriculture, nutrition and healthcare, promoting regenerative farming, nutrient-dense food and a more preventive approach to health.

🎙️ On 29 October, we're delighted to welcome Raiza Rezende, co-founder of hashtag and AgroSystemic, to our webinar.

Raiza will explore:
🌿 What science tells us about soil health and food nutritional quality.
🥦 Why micronutrient deficiencies remain a global challenge.
🔬 What we know — and what we still need to investigate — about the links between agricultural practices and human nutrition.

If you are interested in the science behind this One Health approach for your farm, your business or simply yourself, join us !

🌍🌱 Healthy food. Healthy soils. Healthy people. One connected system.

Did you know that our food systems influence at least 7 of the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals?

🍎 What we eat matters.

🚜 How we farm matters.

🌿 How we protect our soils, water and biodiversity matters.

🤝 And most importantly, how we work together matters!

This week, we joined the SDG Forum in Brussels, where we exchanged with the FAO about progress towards more sustainable food systems, and the Brussels Climate Week rountable about agrofood systems.

At House of Agroecology, our mission is simple: bring everyone around the same table to build the agriculture of tomorrow.

Farmers, businesses, researchers, retailers, citizens and policymakers — because real change happens when we connect people, ideas and solutions.

💚 On this , let's remember: a healthier food system is something we build together!

Can healthier soils lead to more nutritious food — and healthier people?

🥦 Research has documented declining concentrations of certain nutrients in some crops over time. Meanwhile, micronutrient deficiencies remain a major global public health challenge.
How do agricultural practices influence the nutritional quality of our food? And how can we measure it?

🎙️ Join our next webinar on Nutritional Values!
📅 29 October 2026 | 10:00–12:00 CET
💻 Online | Exclusive to House of Agroecology members

Together with two experts, we'll explore the scientific evidence connecting agricultural practices, food quality and human nutrition.

Raiza Rezende | Regenerative Healthcare European Association (RHEA)
Raiza will explore the challenges surrounding food's nutritional quality, global micronutrient deficiencies and the connections between soil health and human health.

Alaa Ben Fatma | Co-founder & CTO at SENSEEN
Alaa will introduce Nutriscope, an innovative tool combining compact spectrometry and artificial intelligence to analyse plant composition. He'll explain how the technology works, its practical applications for farmers and its current limitations.

We'll also explore scientific research on how soil management, fertilisation and other agricultural practices can influence crop nutritional composition, through the lens of One Health.

Because the future of agriculture isn't just about producing more food. It's also about producing better food — for people and the planet.
