Imagine the soil and plants have a hidden community of tiny helpers called microbes. This work figures out how to manage these helpers to make plants grow stronger and resist stress without using as many chemicals. It's like giving the farm a probiotic treatment to ensure the food we eat is healthier for us and the animals we raise.
Current food production relies too heavily on chemical resources and is vulnerable to climate change. There is a lack of practical tools to use soil and plant microbiology to increase yields and food quality sustainably.
A digital decision support tool called TribiomeSmartFarm and a report analyzing microbiome barriers in food systems.
If you are a biofertilizer manufacturer dealing with low nutrient efficiency in crops — this project developed modulation technologies that enhance plant growth and nutrient use. This allows for producing more food with fewer chemical inputs.
If you are a software provider dealing with a lack of biological data for farmers — this project developed a digital tool called TribiomeSmartFarm. This provides a decision support system to help farmers manage soil and plant health.
If you are an organic food producer dealing with crop vulnerability to climate change — this project developed methods to improve abiotic stress tolerance. This ensures a more resilient food chain and higher nutritional quality of the final product.
Based on available project data, specific pricing or cost structures for the tools are not provided.
The project is currently developing a digital decision support tool and modulation technologies, but evidence of full industrial scaling is not yet detailed in the reports.
Based on available project data, there is no specific information regarding patents or licensing agreements.
The project aligns with the EU Green Deal and Farm2fork strategies to reduce environmental impact in food production.
The project period runs from 2023-01-01 to 2026-12-31, suggesting the final tools will be ready by the end of 2026.
Integration is managed through the TribiomeSmartFarm digital platform, which acts as a decision support tool for farmers.
The consortium is well-balanced for commercialization, featuring 15 partners with a 33% industry ratio. The presence of 6 SMEs indicates a strong focus on agile implementation and market entry, while the mix of 3 universities and 3 research centers ensures the scientific validity of the microbiome modulators.
