Industry Scandal: The Loss Of Nutrients (2019)
Director: Linda Bendali
Genre: Documentary
Country: France
Language: English
Also Known As: Cash Investigations: Seeds of Profit

Synopsis:
Sixty years of producing standardized fruit and vegetables and creating industrial hybrids have had a dramatic impact on their nutritional content. In the past 50 years, vegetables have lost 27% of their vitamin C and nearly half of their iron.

Take the tomato. Through multiple hybridizations, scientists are constantly producing redder, smoother, firmer fruit. But in the process, it has lost a quarter of its calcium and more than half of its vitamins. The seeds that produce the fruits and vegetables we consume are now the property of a handful of multinationals, like Bayer, and Dow-Dupont, who own them. These multinationals have their seeds produced predominantly in India, where workers are paid just a handful of rupees while the company has a turnover of more than 2 billion euros. A globalized business where the seed sells for more than gold.

According to FAO, worldwide, 75% of the cultivated varieties have disappeared in the past 100 years. Loss of nutrients, privatization of life, We reveal the industrialists’ great monopoly over our fruit and veg.

    Bring communities back. Give farmers their land back. Give cooperations less power over our well-being and buy from a farmer. Or start a garden and trade with a friend, family, or neighbors. BRING COMMUNITIES BACK.
  • @jimwilis9107
    As a farmer I see a more obvious reason for the loss of nutrients, soil depletion from over farming.
  • @lonesomewalker
    "I am interested in more nutriton than yield" said no corporation ever.
  • @vulcan4d
    History will know this age for the greed. Lack of nutrients, pesticides, working at night, and people wonder why we have cancer. My doctor tells me an absurd number of 20 and 30 year old patients have cancer. This is unheard of!
  • @advaitha6053
    when farming becomes an industry, healthcare becomes a industry too and humans are the products.
  • @Shirden
    the vitamin and nutrient content that they are referring to are from ripe fruits and vegetables but we don't receive those in the supermarkets. When they pick anything for mass consumption, it hasn't even ripened on the plant yet!
  • This is not surprising. You can clearly taste the difference between a homegrown strawberry and one from the supermarket. I don't need science to realize which are better.
  • @ShatteredSoul2
    This is crazy. I hate store tomatoes. Home grown tomatoes are the best!!! As a child I rarely got sick. I played outside in the dirt. Barefoot. I ate fresh tomatoes, carrots, zucchini, etc. pulled from our garden. My grandparents had huge acre sized gardens with anything you could imagine. Peas, pumpkins, squash, corn... My grandmother would then can all of those foods fresh to keep them fed through the winter. I remember going into their underground cellar and grabbing crisp chilled apples. The walls were lined with canned goods. Ahh the memories.
  • @ES11777
    You can tell by the delicious taste alone that homegrown crops are MUCH more nutritious than the ones bought in a grocery store
  • I hope that the farmers both men and women aren't punished or jobs aren't lost for speaking their truths and answering direct questions..
  • @finn6492
    hybridization in itself doesn't make them less nutritious it because they are selecting for traits such as yield, growth speed and shelf life which all come at the cost of it's nutrition. you can absolutely breed a tomato to have much higher nutrients than the natural heirloom variety, It would just most likely grow slower and produce less per plant.
  • @user-me4vh8wi5n
    I’m so happy to hear that small farmers and people who have the knowledge of nature and seeds are fighting back against the big gmo companies who are monopolizing our food sources. Keep going so produce diversity can continue.
  • Thank you for this documentary. This is much needed enlightenment on how deep the destruction of healthy food by the select few on a worldwide scale.
  • @illumencouk
    Engineered Obsolescence - The current trajectory of plant nutrition requires the consumer 'must' eat more tomorrow, than yesterday. This is unsustainable and they know it. Government Ministers are GM's too.
  • @sandradavis9309
    Tomatoes and green beans used to taste so good. Now they are tasteless. Grocery stores are selling garbage.
  • @MaykılNaytJR
    Crash Test for Tomatos lol. Even bacteria don't eat that!
  • @drewetpa
    Every single food documentary I watch is depressing! Exploitation of workers. Habitat destruction. Climate impact. Greedy unethical multinationals. All driven by "big money". Their greed will ultimately bring down the human race. Politicians can't see beyond the next election. As a concerned individual I feel impotent to change anything. I'm surrounded by ignorance, apathy and indifference. 😔

    The is an eye opener. Suggest should also make 1 minute short videos summarizing the whole truth for general public education.
