"Microbiome research holds one of the keys to the intertwined goals of food system sustainability and healthy diets for all. It provides insights into how to produce more with less, reduce external input use, regenerate the fertility and health of our soils and water bodies, enhance food production and productivity, and help people prevent and treat various NCDs, as well as infections that have become resistant to antibiotics."
