Vegetables are half as nutritious as they were in the 1960s
A Telegraph report says modern vegetables contain roughly half the nutrients of those grown in the 1960s, attributing the decline to intensive farming practices and crop varieties bred for yield rather than nutrition. The claim has reignited debate over soil depletion, industrial agriculture and the nutritional quality of the food supply.
Why now: Readers are alarmed by the suggestion that modern farming has sharply reduced the nutritional value of everyday produce.
