That is because home gardens build soil. The soil biology (microbes, protozoa, nematodes,arthropods and earthworms) breathe on oxygen and breathe out CO2 which feeds the plants. GMO crops never reach 6 on a Brix scale which measures the amount of sugar in the fruit or vegetable. Organic veggies can reach 12 to 15. Photosynthesis stores carbon in the soil making for healthy soils and healthy people. Plants trade sugar for their choice of 41 items on a menu of minerals.
