Abstract

The present chapter, which combines theoretical and experimental knowledge, is divided into two parts. The first part provides critical insights to allow scientists to generate discoveries across microbiome applications for sustainable food systems. It offers a broad view of research of interest to early and experienced scientists, as well as an understanding of the role of microbiomes as vital ecosystems and inter-relations among microbiomes across food chains. In the second part of the chapter, the reuse of spent coffee grounds to increase the resilience of agro-food systems is described as an example of a successful application of a microbiome-related intervention.
