History of industrial agriculture:

<1940s: scarce but nourishing food
~1950-1990: abundant and nourishing food (depletion period)
~1990-present: abundant but depleted food

Next phase will have supply shocks of depleted food

The best move is to rotate back into nourishing foods by going local

The depleted argument is over stated.  We have traded some nutritional benefit for better shelf life & ability to pack the fruit.  Does it matter that much if an orange has 50mg of Vitamin C instead of 60mg if you have much better access to fresh fruit ? Not in my mind.  

Between 1995 & 2006 I watched strawberries in the Northeast go from small & heavily damaged fruit that barely looked edible to larger & appetizing.  They’re not as sweet, but the can get to your fridge before looking like mush.  There are lots of trade-offs in ag

One set of l numbers:

US per capita avocado consumption 

1976: 1.2 pounds 
2022: 9.22 pounds

Is a the depleted argument overstated? The change in Vit C from your example is 16%

That’s a lot. What are the real numbers?

Additionally the eco impacts of concentrated farming are much smaller than distributed farms because they benefit a lot from the scale. Both organic farming and local farming result in more damage to the environment iirc.
