Organic veggies for pregnant women: a green prescription to cut pesticides?

NCT ID NCT07234617

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether giving pregnant women a weekly basket of organic vegetables for two weeks reduces their exposure to pesticides compared to women who eat as usual. Researchers will measure pesticide levels in urine before and after the program. If successful, it could support expanding similar "green prescription" programs to protect more mothers and babies.

What this could lead to

If it works, this could show that providing organic vegetables to pregnant women lowers their pesticide levels, supporting wider rollouts of similar programs.
