MODERATORS
The strains of vegetables are at least as much of a factor I would presume. They have been going towards GE crops to take pesticides more and produce higher outputs.
It's mostly that, not the soil, as they use fertilizers, which do work, despite many of those fertilizers being sewage, (which is a legitimate, traditional, and good fertilizer,) that is mixed with industrial waste from municipal water systems.
It's all fucked.
You're right to point out that there's other factors as well.
But then you just went ... off the rails?
