The Effects of Agro-ecological Farming Systems on Human Health
NCT05575258 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
As concerns regarding the effects of agriculture on human and environmental health mount, a growing number of farmers are seeking ways to improve health from the ground up. A promising way by which a growing number of farmers are seeking to improve environmental health is by using agro-ecological practices (i.e., farming more closely in harmony with natural systems), which include practices such as multi-cropping, ley rotations, and/or integrated crop-livestock systems. Despite potential ecological benefits, there is a lack of critical knowledge if consuming foods from agro-ecological systems impacts biomarkers of human health, including inflammatory and metabolomics profiles. The purpose of this project is to test the hypothesis that consuming foods produced using agro-ecological practices improves biomarkers of consumer health compared to consuming similar foods from conventional (monoculture) agriculture. All diets will be matched one-to-one in terms of macronutrients and food sources.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT05575258
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT05575258 describes a study currently listed as active not recruiting. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 34 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Utah State University, which has 8 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Inflammatory Response appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which 44-Day Diet Conventionally Sourced - YELLOW Diet is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT05575258 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Utah. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
