Challenges to food security under conditions of global climate change are forcing us to increase crop production to feed the growing population. Focusing on the plant–microbe interactions, represent a promising area in the search for tools to address this challenge. This project aims to develop a three-step- framework that allows researchers to systematically and reproducibly investigate crop microbiomes to enable us to design a ‘Beneficial Biome’, a biologically based solution for improving agricultural productivity and environmental sustainability under constrained conditions, where limited resources are available to fertilize.

全球气候变化条件下的粮食安全挑战迫使我们增加作物产量，以养活不断增长的人口。专注于植物-微生物相互作用，代表了寻找解决这一挑战的工具的一个有前途的领域。该项目旨在开发一个三步框架，使研究人员能够系统地和可重复地调查作物微生物组，使我们能够设计一个“有益生物群”，这是一种基于生物学的解决方案，用于在有限的资源可用于施肥的条件下提高农业生产力和环境可持续性。
