Agriculture is relatively new phenomenon. The consensus of anthropologists is that agriculture started ~10,000 years ago.
Current state of agriculture
- Soil is impoverished by intensive agriculture practices
- Produce sold in stores does not occur in the same shape/form in the wild
- Produce has less nutrient value than ~30-50 years ago
- Oranges have 4x less Vitamin C
- Fruits and vegetables picked unriped
- To get new seeds in
- To transport within the country and across the world
Verdict
Industrial produce is a shell of its former self.
