A microbiome is a community of microorganisms
bacteria, fungi and viruses
that live together in a given environment
Microbiomes are in, on and all around us
in our food
in our bodies
in animals and plants
every soil has a microbiome
and there are even microbiomes in the ocean
We know microorganisms can cause illness
but they are also beneficial for our health
They are also key for sustaining life on our planet
Microbiome science is rapidly growing
Yet, understanding the microbiome is complex and challenging
Research progress will benefit from brining together many different fields and actors
from farmers to industry, retailers, consumers but also to policy makers
Microbiome research could have a big impact on our health and food
on climate change
and even on restoring ecosystems
Microbiome science is opening up
and there is so much more to discover!
