Who else didn't know our food might be lacking nutrients? The culprit is soil depletion. So what exactly is soil depletion?


It's when soil loses its nutrients over time, and guess what? This affects the vitamins and minerals in our food.


Farmers often use monoculture, growing the same crop over and over, which strips the soil of its goodness. And don't get me started on heavy chemical use. When soil is rich in organic matter, our food is packed with nutrients, but when it's depleted, we end up with produce that's low in the essentials like magnesium. That's why so many people today are both overweight and malnourished.


Next time you grab a carrot, think about the soil it came from. Want healthy food, support sustainable farming and give your body the nutrients it needs.
