Agricultural intensification coupled with changing climate are causing soils to become increasingly vulnerable to stresses such as drought, soil erosion and compaction. The mechanisms by which roots detect and respond to soil stresses remains poorly...

Root-soil-microbiome management is key to the success of Regenerative Agriculture (2024)
Journal Article
Mooney, S., Castrillo, G., Cooper, H., & Bennett, M. (2024). Root-soil-microbiome management is key to the success of Regenerative Agriculture. Nature Food, 5, 451–453. https://doi.org/10.1038/s43016-024-01001-1

Building soil health and manipulating the soil microbiome, alongside targeted plant breeding that prioritizes preferential root architectural development, hold the key to the future success of regenerative agriculture. Greater integration is needed b... Read More about Root-soil-microbiome management is key to the success of Regenerative Agriculture.
