Due to **declining soil quality**, nutrients in fruit & vegetables are sharply lower Researchers at Deep Science Ventures found twice the fruit & veg need to be eaten today to get the same level of minerals like potassium, magnesium or copper than 60 yrs ago www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

Vegetables are half as nutritious than 60 years ago. Experts now know why
Fewer than a third of wheat varieties used in bread released since the 1960s meet the recommended zinc target, due to poor soil quality

A few hundred meters from the pristine riverbanks in Croatia, a megafarm is being built: ⁣ ⁣ 🚨 1.8 MILLION chickens per year⁣ 🚨 Over 1 MILLION litres of toxic wastewater annually⁣ Billionaire Ag executives are expecting communities to suffer in silence while they extract profit.⁣ ⁣ ⁣#PeoplePower ✊
A bold graphic claims that the “Chicken King” wants to build an industrial megafarm next to Croatia’s largest drinking water source. It features a smiling man holding packaged chicken in a supermarket, with text stating that 1.8 million chickens are slaughtered annually and that residents are organising against industrial farms.A graphic shows a scenic, hazy landscape beside a body of water. Bold white and yellow text criticises wealthy corporations and billionaire executives for transforming beautiful places into industrial zones while ignoring local residents. Yellow-highlighted text claims the proposed project would produce 1,000,000 litres of toxic wastewater annually near a UNESCO-protected reserve and Croatia’s largest drinking water source.
