Field experiments at UNIBO investigate agronomic management practices for soya bean cultivation
As part of the MICROBIOMES4SOY project, field experiments conducted at the University of Bologna (UNIBO) are evaluating the impact of different agronomic management practices on soya bean cultivation. Three distinct management systems—conservation, conventional, and organic—were tested. To capture the diversity of soya bean traits, five different varieties were chosen for the experiments and organised into […]
MICROBIOMES4SOY Visioning Workshop: Transition pathways for a sustainable food system
On October 23, 2024, the MICROBIOMES4SOY project hosted an online workshop, bringing together a dynamic group of stakeholders to spark dialogue and action around sustainable food production and human health.

Joining the Microbes4SustainableFoods (M4SF) Cluster
Microbiomes4Soy proudly participates in Microbes4SustainableFoods (M4SF), a collaborative cluster of EU-funded projects working toward healthier food systems and sustainable agriculture. Together, the M4SF members focus on the role of microbiomes throughout food value chains, supporting human and environmental well-being. In October 2024, Microbiomes4Soy joined the cluster as an associated member to further the cluster’s mission to advance […]
MICROBIOMES4SOY Soil Sampling Campaign: Collecting Agricultural Soil Across Europe
In collaboration with European farmers, the MICROBIOMES4SOY project has successfully completed a large-scale soil sampling campaign across multiple countries, paving the way for research on how soil microbiomes may affect soya bean cultivation. This research aims to compare plant growth, performance, and resistance to environmental stressors, offering valuable insights into how microbiomes influence crop success. […]
