A New Approach to Agriculture: discover the intricate processes behind regenerative agriculture, exploring its profound impact on soil functionality and crop productivity. Uncover the secrets of efficient resource utilization in crop production, optimizing water, light, and nutrient usage. Delve into the fascinating effects of regenerative practices on soil carbon levels and transformative changes in soil properties.
At TAHI we see farmers at the center of a farming system that improves their soil health, their crop quality, their communities, and the health of people that eat the food they grow.
We focus on education and community building to reveal, improve, and nurture that system. Farmers are the first step in the healthcare supply chain. To fully deliver on that responsibility requires increased knowledge of the health of their soil, their crops, and their business strategy. Addressing this whole system is fundamental to our approach.

Water is crucial. We focus on how to improve water availability and flow.
SOIL NUTRIENTS
Overview of nutrients in the soil and their availability and impact on plant growth. Relationship among nutrients and the need for a balanced soil nutrient content.
The Agricultural Health Consortium
Better Farming | Better Food | Better Health
We are proud to be behind a bold and visionary agricultural consortium committed to transforming the food system and improving national health outcomes. Anchored in the values of clean soil, nutrient-rich food, and holistic well-being, this initiative brings together leaders across disciplines, scientists, farmers, nutritionists, physicians, educators, and community advocates to ignite systemic change.
Convergence for Change: Uniting Agricultural and Clinical Innovation
In a landmark moment of collaboration, our agricultural affiliates—including Bionutrient Food Association, Understanding Ag, Soil Tech, Solutions in the Land, and the Health Research Institute- have come together with a distinguished network of physicians, food and nutrition scientists, industry experts, farmers, and community leaders to form a powerful cross-sector consortium. This convergence embodies a shared commitment to regenerative agriculture, nutrient science, and holistic health outcomes.
The model is further strengthened by academic anchors at Purdue University (College of Health and Human Sciences), Utah State University (Center for Human Nutrition Studies, Department of Nutrition, Dietetics and Food Sciences, College of Agriculture and Applied Sciences), and Iowa State University (Food Science and Human Nutrition), Maharishi International University (Department of Agriculture) with nonprofit leadership from Moms Across America and Triada World, both advocating fiercely for toxin-free food and community empowerment.
Igniting a National Movement
Launching with the premiere of Triada World’s PEARL Study, this campaign showcases evidence: chemical contaminants and poor dietary habits are harming human health. Our 12-week feasibility study sparked a groundswell of collaboration among academic institutions, grassroots communities, impacted families, and visionary industry leaders.
This campaign complements the emergence of a national movement. It unites the full spectrum of American skill sets, from university labs to local farms, from policy tables to kitchen counters—with one voice:
Consortium Partners
- Academic Platforms: Purdue University (Food and Nutrition Science), Utah State (Van Vliet Metabolomix Lab), Iowa State University (McNeill Lab, miRNA)
- Nonprofit Allies: Moms Across America, Triada World
- Core Ag Affiliates: Bionutrient Food Association, Understanding Ag, Soil Tech, Solutions in the Land, Health Research Institute (HRI)
- Clinical and Community Leaders: Physicians, farmers, nutritionists, families, and systems thinkers
Our Shared Vision
- To restore the biodiversity of the land
- To reclaim seed integrity
- To defend better food and better health as a human right, not a privilege
- To protect cultural survival through food justice and ecological stewardship
This convergence of action is grounded in the truth that the health of our soil is inextricably linked to the health of our people. What begins in our soil determines the life in our bodies, the strength of our communities, and the legacy we leave behind.
Positioned for Impact
This consortium is poised to deliver science-backed recommendations,
By bridging agricultural data and clinical outcomes, we aim to shape:
- Evidence-based treatments and food, nutrition, and lifestyle strategies
- Guidelines for environmental exposure mitigation
- Policy frameworks for toxin-free food production and equitable wellness access
- The momentum is undeniable. Each affiliate has generated independent data that speaks to chronic illness, autism, and metabolic stress. Now, through a coordinated effort, we stand ready to catalyze change across landscapes and lifespans.
