Researchers have mapped how microbes underpin healthy food systems—and how we can stop their decline.
Join this free Frontiers Forum Deep Dive webinar on 11 September 2025, 16:00–17:30 CEST , and hear from the authors of a lead Frontiers in Science article— Prof Paul Cotter, Dr Tanja Kostic, and Dr Paula Fernández Gómez —who used omics technologies to map hidden interconnected microbial networks.
Their work is driving the development of microbiome-based solutions to enhance animal, human, and environmental health, by helping to create more sustainable food systems globally.
The article authors will discuss why an integrated approach—uniting scientists, innovators, regulators, educators, and everyday consumers—is essential to confront threats such as the climate crisis, antibiotic overuse, and pesticide reliance, all of which erode microbiome health within the food system.
