Fruits and Vegetables Have Lost Up to Half Their Nutrients
Original: Cereals, Vegetables and Fruits Have Lost Up to Half of Their Essential Nutrients in the Last 60 Years. Modern Farming Is Partly to Blame and Climate Change Will Make It Worse
Cereals, vegetables and fruits contain up to 50% fewer essential nutrients than they did 60 years ago, according to a widely shared report. Modern intensive farming practices are identified as a major cause, depleting soils and prioritising yield over nutrition. Researchers warn that rising carbon dioxide levels and climate change are expected to accelerate the decline, raising concerns about global dietary health.
Why now: Concerns about food quality and health are growing as research links industrial agriculture and climate change to declining nutrient levels in staple crops.
