Vegetables are losing their nutrients. Can the decline be reversed?

A process called biofortification puts nutrients directly into seeds and could reduce global hunger, but it’s not a magic bullet

    Or we could stop force farming and overloading the soil with ferts, and go back to crop rotation with letting sections lay fallow.

      Agroecology is the most important change to the food system to make sure we have enough food in the future, and most people either don’t know about it or prefer monocultures because they are slaves to yield.

        As a gardener I think polyculture farming is so exciting too! And pretty! I get such good results from companion planting, but you can’t harvest a three sisters garden with farming equipment so the industrial farmers don’t care.

      That’s cool but there’s no way that’s sustainable for a modern economy…

        We already make enough food. Think about how much food you’d save just by telling McDonald’s to fuck off and actually sustainably growing food instead of using X amount of land to make “the perfect French fry”

    this is one of those r/collapse things i’ve been hearing about for years that scares the shit out of me

    since it’s the higher CO2 levels there’s nothing you can do besides make some kind of “Earth: 1800” sealed greenhouse

    and of course whatever tech they are proposing i don’t trust for shit

      Oh yeah?

      Well the higher CO2 levels also mean you are getting less oxygen per lungful of air and the concentration of CO2 in your blood is higher.

      That effects athleticism, but more importantly that impacts your brain. Slower thought processes, more forgetfulness, sleepiness, and more!

      It gets better - the CO2 concentrations are already elevated in buildings with poor circulation, so offices and schools and such, and as atmospheric CO2 increases that also even further increases the elevated CO2 indoors. That impacts our work and education at the same time!

      Isn’t the future cool? 🙃

      Western leftists would rather bring back Pepsi 1893 with extra CO2.

    all the “critiques” offered in this article are groundless and looney.
