Themengebiet
How can we leverage ecological processes to meet the increasing global demand for food while reducing agriculture’s environmental footprint? This still is a critical question that needs to be addressed to tackle the global challenge of sustainable crop production. Soil microbes play a key role in nutrient cycling, and may confer crop tolerance to drought and resistance to pests. Hence, if we are to promote sustainable agroecosystem, we must look to managing interactions between crops and soil biotic and abiotic variables. By promoting ecological diversity and ecosystem services across scales, including aboveground-belowground interactions, diversified farming systems help build soil fertility and create environmentally sound agriculture. In my inaugural lecture I will describe how my research aims to better understand mechanisms underpinning plant-soil interactions and how to design diversified farming systems to harness plant-soil interactions for optimized agroecosystem functioning.
