HERE YOU FIND ONE MORE REASON,WHY PLANTS DEVELOP LESS NUTRIENTS,FOR BOTH, THE KONVENTIONEL AND THE ORGANIC FOODPLANTS: MORE CO 2 LET GROW THE PLANTS FASTER, BUT WITH LESS NUTRIENTS IN THE LAST 50 TO 70 YEARS.
It’s that for years, the plants have been been getting more carbon dioxide. Plants rely on both light and carbon dioxide to grow. If shining more light results in faster-growing, less nutritious algae—junk-food algae whose ratio of sugar to nutrients was out of whack—then it seemed logical to assume that ramping up carbon dioxide might do the same. And it could also be playing out in plants all over the planet. What might that mean for the plants that people eat? https://www.politico.com/agenda/story/2017/09/13/food-nutrients-carbon-dioxide-000511
