Greater yield doesn't mean greater yield in nutrition.
Nutrition in many veggies has dropped significantly since we started chemical farming instead of organic farming, and now that we understand more about the soil web and the complex interactions of the life in the soil we realse that adding fertiliser results in dirt rather than soil, which then results in less nturitous food.

Yes, organic has less yield, but it's better food.
- cyberax 3y ago> Greater yield doesn't mean greater yield in nutrition. Yes, it does. "Nutrition" is mostly raw calories that you get from fat and carbs, with protein sprinkled on top. Modern plants are _more_ rich in protein than historical cultivars. Vitamins are a non-issue, people in general receive more than enough of them.
