Aug 23, 2022 · Members of soil microbiomes can also directly act as food. For example, truffles, a fruiting body of some subterranean ascomycetes fungi, are a highly prized food in modern gastronomy ...
Jun 27, 2023 · Healthy soil microbiomes are an important factor underpinning global food security. Those with low diversity, however, have been linked to the transfer of the causal agent of typhoid to plants, edible fruits and seeds. Understanding soil microbiomes is complex as while gut microbiomes are hosted by discrete biological organisms such as people ...
The study of the microbiome from farm to fork has the potential to improve our understanding of hazards and health risks. Within the context of food safety, different microbiomes can be exploited for different purposes. The microbiome is not a food safety risk per se. Until recently, the microbiome has been an unexplored contributor to food ...
However, there is solid, scientific evidence that demonstrates strong connections between some crop production practices, the soil microbiome, and their combined efects on greenhouse gas fluxes and soil carbon storage (Figure 3). These practices include tillage, fertilization, and agroecosystem crop diversification.
