Fungi & the Zillions

Microbes and Fungi Underpin the Farm Ecosystem

Just like us, microbes and fungi function best in teams, each with their own functional role, spanning a wide range of traits.

Together they influence plant nutrient and carbon cycling and ultimately soil structure and water infiltration and holding capacity, crop, pasture and orchard productivity. Diverse and lively microbial communities and fungi support plants capable of resisting pests and disease, support a well-functioning landscape as well as healthy human microbiomes.
