Microbiomes for Sustainable Food Systems: Paving the Pathway to Transition

Microbiomes4Soy will foster the transition to better planetary health through:

1

Developing microbiome-based knowledge and awareness

2

Creating microbiome-based solutions for more sustainable food production

3

Facilitating healthy soy-enriched diets.

MICROBIOMES4SOY: Healthier diets and sustainable food and feed systems through employing microbiomes for soya production and further use

What is MICROBIOMES4SOY?

MICROBIOMES4SOY is a 5-year research project funded by the European Commission through the Horizon Europe program. Coordinated by the AIT Austrian Institute of Technology (AIT), the project gathers 17 partners from 10 countries in a collaboration between top universities and research centres, as well as expert non-profit organizations and the private sector.

This approach builds on the partners’ multidisciplinary expertise and knowledge in the field in a combined effort to help investigate microbiomes as key driving influences on environmental and human health impacts.

The project aims to improve the environmental impact of soybean production, explore the effects of soybean consumption on the human gut microbiome and contribute to the development of novel fish feeds for the aquaculture sector. Through a Multi-Actor Approach, the project will develop transition pathways that are ready to answer food system actors’ needs and deliver co-benefits relevant to the FOOD 2030 priorities.
