Vegetables are half as nutritious as they were in the 1960s
Fruit and vegetables today contain roughly half the nutrients they did in the 1960s, according to reporting on long-term food composition data. Declining soil health, intensive farming and breeding for yield and shelf life rather than nutrition are cited as key causes. Readers are debating whether industrial agriculture is trading nutritional value for productivity, and what changes to farming and diet could restore nutrient levels.
Why now: The striking claim that everyday produce has lost half its nutritional value challenges assumptions about modern food and farming.
