During this year’s edition of World Microbiome Day, Microbiomes4Soy was part of the webinar “Innovations from Soil to Shelf: Microbiomes Across Agriculture and Circular Food Design”. The webinar, which took place on 24 June 2026, explored how microbiome-based solutions can help build more sustainable agriculture and food systems.
We’re pleased to highlight Anastasija Jušković of the AIT Austrian Institute of Technology, who spoke about the project and shared insights on microbiome innovation across the food value chain.
From improving soil health and crop resilience to developing fermented foods and valorising food waste, this event showcased the potential of microbiomes to drive sustainability and practical solutions across the food chain, including:
🌱 Sustainable crop cultivation
🌾 Reconnecting soil health and food systems
🥣 Fermented plant-based products
♻️ Valorising food waste
