Why the Microbiome

The World Microbiome Partnership brings together global leaders, researchers, and innovators to advance microbiome science for planetary healthConnecting the microbiome community to improve human, animal, plant and planetary health.

The World Microbiome Partnership brings together global stakeholders to unlock microbiome potential through science, standards, and One Health solutions.

The microbiome refers to the trillions of microorganisms—bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other microbes—that live in and on us, in our soils, oceans, and across all ecosystems on Earth.
