Fruits, veggies are less nutritious now

Mounting evidence shows that many fruits, vegetables and grains grown today carry fewer nutrients than 70 years ago — less protein, phosphorus, iron, calcium, riboflavin and vitamin C. Scientists say problem is in modern agricultural processes that increase crop yields but disturb soil health. But, studies show that changing farming methods can reverse the effect. Crops grown in farms that embrace regenerative farming practices are more nutritious.
