An idea worth spreading

There is great promise for developing productive agricultural inputs that utilize beneficial soil biota (e.g. microbes and fungi) to promote plant growth, strengthen climate resilience, and improve soil fertility. Collaborative efforts to advance biofertilizer production, distribution and application technologies would contribute to sustainable food security at both local and global scale.

Areas of expertise

Agricultural practices for sustainable food production, Assessing technological advances and their prospects for success, bringing innovative technology to market
