OMICS CHARACTERIZATION OF MICROBIOME THROUGHOUT THE LOOP
The composition, diversity, and activities of microbial communities play a critical role in feedstock biotransformation, decomposition, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and plant health throughout the stages of biochemical processes in urban agriculture systems. However, how these complex communities evolve within the urban agriculture loop is still poorly understood. Gaining a deeper insight into the dynamics of these microbial communities will help identify key biomarkers that are essential for optimising performance and enhancing sustainability in urban agriculture. Understanding these changes is crucial for improving overall system efficiency and environmental impact.
