Declining nutritional value in fruits and vegetables has been a concern of researchers for many years. The debate raged on about the benefits and drawbacks of modern farming techniques.

Data presented by researchers from the Department of Soil Sciences at the University ofWisconsin–Madison shows that while these great advances in crop yield have occurred in the last 50 years nutrient content has been under siege and declining. Similarly, a review of data published by the USDA’s ARC Nutrient Data Laboratory shows “a sharp decline in the minerals, vitamins and other nutrients in foods since the last comprehensive survey”, about 20 years ago.
