Agriculture and Food Systems
The Agriculture and Food Systems research area at the Microbes and Social Equity (MSE) group delves into the essential roles that microbes play within agricultural ecosystems. Our research focuses on how microbial processes such as nitrogen fixation, carbon cycling, fermentation, and photosynthesis can be optimized to enhance food production systems, improve soil health, and increase ecological sustainability.
Objectives and Impact
The Agriculture and Food Systems research at MSE aims to:
- Develop sustainable agricultural practices that reduce dependency on chemical inputs.
- Enhance soil vitality and plant health through effective microbial management.
- Address broader issues such as food security and the impacts of agriculture on environmental sustainability.
