Good to see positive research on this subject, was soil health included in the research? I'd hope farming industry for vegan industry isn't doing the same it's doing for meat industry; which is to run the same crop year after year, ruining whatever growth potential that plot of soil had longterm.

Knowing the farming industry, it'll still be the exact same corn and soy monocultures, just edible breeds
