Report on Food Quality

The Journal of HortScience has published a report in it's February 2009 issue how fruits and vegetables have few nutrients than similar crops did 50 years ago. The reason is simple; industrial agriculture produces most of our food supply. In order to increase production (profits) industrial ag has introduced petro based fertilizers, genetically engineered seeds, monoculture. The time honored system of producing food from openly pollinated seeds, crop rotation and diversify crops dropped out of favor after World War II in favor of the "new way" of farming. Guess the chickens have come home to roost.
