The link between an agricultural company such as Lancaster Ag and human wellness lies in the quote, “We are what we eat.”   Human health is failing today with dire predictions by demographers who say that this is the first generation of Americans whose lifespan may be shorter than the lifespan of their parents.  The proof is in the industrial food that we Americans are consuming.  

Food and nutrition are the basis of life.  All of life’s systems - whether soil, plants, animals, or humans - rely on food and nutrition.  The common denominator is minerals.  Minerals need to be present in every aspect of life.  That is why Lancaster Ag focuses on all of these systems and their interconnectedness.  We strive to offer soil nutrient products to farmers, produce growers, and gardeners that are rich in the vital minerals needed to grow nutritious food, which in the long run, will help maintain human health.

Human health begins in the soil.  Farmers and gardeners who work the land need to carefully balance their soils with minerals, trace minerals, and soil amendments and put back into the soil what the crops have taken out.  The goal is higher minerals and balanced soil. Other-wise the depleted soil will produce vegetables and fruits that are seriously lacking in nutrients. Various researchers find that we have 80% less proper nutritional density in the average vegetables than we did in the 1940’s.  A United States Department of Agriculture study at the University of Louisiana discovered that fruits have lost 60% of their nutritional value and vegetables have lost 80%.  On the other hand, a balanced gar-den will bring a complete holistic approach to food by providing a wide variety of minerals – a complete battery of minerals.
