What this Trial Is About
Numerous studies have highlighted the harmful effects of pesticide exposure during the prenatal period. Food is one of the main vectors of exposure to pesticides, particularly glyphosate, which is the most widely used herbicide. Observational studies have highlighted their effects on health, but few interventional studies have been conducted to identify effective interventions to reduce or eliminate environmental risks. In 2022, the City of Strasbourg implemented the "Ordonnance Verte" (Green Prescription) program, giving all pregnant women in the city access to a weekly basket of organic and local vegetables for several months, as well as awareness-raising workshops on endocrine disruptors and healthy eating. The objective of this study is to assess whether this type of program reduces pregnant women's exposure to pesticides compared to women who continue to eat according to their usual habits. If conclusive, this type of assessment would play a key role in facilitating the rollout of similar initiatives on a larger scale and protecting the health of pregnant women and future children.
