Food for Health: Considering the Nutrient Density of Food Crops

Authors: (The Institute for Functional Medicine, 2023)

Abstract:

Research studies suggest that the nutrient content of crops has declined over the years, possibly due in part to agricultural methods, land and soil management practices, and climate change. A potential decline in food crop nutrient density is important to consider when addressing micronutrient malnutrition, preventing chronic diseases, and promoting optimal health.
