I think people have to realize that capitalism has made us search for cheap over quality and nutrition when it comes to food.
Food is literally one of two things that keep us alive and thriving yet we balk at food that is slightly more expensive but much more nutritious, lasts much longer and requires less volume to feed one's self due to this nutrient density vs. Commercially grown food, that has been transported thousands of kilometers to your local store.
You can't afford the increase in price to buy quality food? That has nothing to do with the food, what or costs or what you should be buying or eating. It's capitalism keeping you part of the slave class and making you think grocery store prices are normal.
They have the same nutrients as commercially grown. They have a higher density because theyre smaller and have way lower production. The neutrient declaine is going to happen regardless of you using high or low yield it just a matter of scale and time. All of this started exactly how you believe we should be doing it now. The problem is that doesnt make enough food for everyone and it only takes one bad year and a LOT of people dont get anything. So we selected for traits to stop that. The problem is that now we have to choose more land and resources (fertilizer and energy) to maintain heirloom strains and grow them at scale and transport them around faster and farther than theyre designed to last. Or less quality per yield but far more yield and much longer sheld life. Without forcing everyone to live within a certain radius of an heirloom farm there is only so much you can do before logistics and shelf life simply dont cut it anymore.
And commercially grown vegetables are also lacking in nutrient density and quality due to poor farming practices.
