Mind, Body, and SoilThe Dark Matter of Nutrition: Looking at Biodiversity and Agroecology in the Data with Dr. Stephan van VlietDr. Stephan van Vliet is at the forefront of researching what he calls the ‘dark matter’ of nutrition. Beyond the nutrition facts panel, beyond just protein, fat, and carboyhydrates and beyond the vitamins and minerals we are familiar with lies a world called metabolomics where thousands and tens of thousands of compounds and phytochemicals exist. Dr. van Vliet is looking at these compounds and in how food is grown - whether it’s conventional, regenerative (which Dr. van Vliet refers to as agroecological) and whether it’s plant-based or animal-based agriculture. In this episode, we explore the nutrient cycle from soi...

I later learned that he was recording from HIS MOM'S HOUSE, where I assume he was connecting via a 28 baud modem. I quickly gave up on this endeavor, so Rob enlisted the help of his cabin boy Rory van Vliet to provide the required tech support. This...
