Abstract: Background: Regenerative agriculture reconciles environmental protection with the maintenance of food security based on practices aimed at sustainable soil management. Evidence is available regarding its positive impact on soil health, but little is known about its extent of influence on the nutritional composition of food, or wether it can be related to health nutricional benefits. Aims: To analyze the available evidence on a possible nutritional link between soil health and human health based on the characteristics of food obtained through regenerative agriculture, and to study specifically the possible link between ergothioneine and human health. Methods: Review based on the PRISMA guide of scientific articles on the nutritional composition of foods obtained with regenerative agriculture and on the link between ergothioneine and human health. Results: Eleven articles have been included (6 linked to regenerative agriculture and nutritional composition of foods, 5 linked to ergothioneine and human health). The results have shown positive effects of regenerative agriculture on the amount of certain micronutrients and phytochemicals in food, including ergothioneine, but without evidence of a relationship between soil health and the nutrient density of crops with human health. The intake of foods rich in ergothioneine has been linked to benefits in health outcomes. Conclusions: There is still a lack of evidence on the links between soil health and human health through nutrition. The possible link from ergothioneine and its potential use in health open up new fields of research.
