Wouldn't the yeild of (say) 100sf of soil be higher compared to
planting separatly? For instance: 100sf of corn, 100sf of squash,
100sf of peas == 300sf of garden. VS 100sf of everything growing
together?


No.

plus what good is high productivity if the
nutritional value is less than what it used
to be?

and this makes me wonder about the fact that
many people eat too much and if some of that
overeating is the body's own way of saying, "i
need so much of this and i ain't getting it so
i better eat more" ?
