On the other hand many plants aren't even getting in contact with soil any more and just get some liquid fertilizer in a greenhouse.
That's the other cognitive bias: We still imagine old school farming, animals walking around the farm, happy farmers working outside. Advertisement and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ag-gag https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ag-gag hide the grim reality.
- colechristensen 6y agoVery few food crops are grown in hydroponics, and when they are, it's quite likely they have higher nutrition content than their conventional commercial crop counterparts. As one of the generational old school farmers in exile, I'm quite aware of how food is produced. Most of it that you eat in unpleasant industrial settings but not the hydroponic greenhouses you imagine, and if not, in a way that exploits extremely poorly compensated labourers to do things machines haven't been perfected for yet.
