Is the Nutritional Value of our Fruits and Veggies Declining?
There is an ongoing debate and some evidence suggesting that the nutritional value of fresh vegetables may have declined over the past few decades. What factors may have contributed to this?
Soil Degradation
Intensive farming practices can lead to soil erosion, nutrient depletion and increased salt levels affecting nutritional content of crops.
Crop Selection and Breeding
Modern farming often prioritises high-yielding disease-resistant varieties over nutrient dense ones.
Climate Change.
Rising temperatures, changing precipitation patterns and increased CO2 levels can alter plant growth and nutrient uptake
Farming Practices
Excessive use of nitrogen fertilizers can lead to an imbalance of nutrients in plants.
The increasing Use of Roundup Herbicide
The use of this widely used herbicide has been found to have both direct and indirect effects on fungi in soils and ultimately the nutritional value of food
