Fruits and Vegetables 50% Less Nutritious Than in the 1960s
A new report warns that fruits and vegetables in the UK may contain up to 50% fewer key nutrients than they did in the 1960s, with declining soil quality cited as a main cause. Intensive farming practices are said to have depleted soils of minerals and organic matter, raising concerns about the long-term nutritional value of staple produce and prompting calls for regenerative agriculture.
Why now: Fresh research linking modern produce's falling nutrient levels to soil degradation has renewed public concern about farming practices and food quality.
