Have you ever heard the phrase "Plants need CO2"? While it's true that plants rely on carbon dioxide to survive, too much of a good thing can be harmful. Recent studies are showing that high CO2 levels are diluting the nutritional value of our food. Get the details here: https://lnkd.in/dZ8tp9NA What are your thoughts on this? Let us know. #ClimateChange #CO2 #Nutrition #FoodQuality #Sustainability
