Comparative Assessment of Micronutrient Differences (Vitamin C, Calcium, Sodium) in Vegetables Grown Using Regenerative Agricultural Practices

Objectives: Consumption of plant-based foods is recommended for human health. However, the extent to which growing conditions influence micronutrient content is less well-known. Regenerative farming, which prioritizes soil health and biodiversity, offers a promising approach to enhancing product quality and sustainability. This analysis aims to compare micronutrient levels of regeneratively grown vegetables to the USDA standard nutrient levels.
