The MicrobiomeSupport Association is a follow-up of the Coordination and Support Action MicrobiomeSupport (2018-2022, grant agreement No 818116). We aim to further increase the awareness of food system microbiomes across different stakeholder groups.
MicrobiomeSupport Association has a mission to function as an internationally recognised and strategically impactful actor for promoting microbiome understanding and applications as key drivers of food security, One Health and human well-being.
MicrobiomeSupport Association aims to act as an interface between different stakeholders (academia, industry, farming sector, policy) to promote research, innovation, and application of food systems microbiomes. Membership is open to legal entities that research, work or are interested in the activities in food systems microbiomes or related areas.
Goals
