Awards issued prior to january 20, 2025, were funded under previous administrations and may not reflect the priorities and policies of the current administration.** the international phytobiomes conference 2024 (phytobiomes 2024) - harvesting the future: bridging phytobiomes, agriculture and climate is an international conference that brings together a broad community of U.S. And international researchers and scientists from the public and private sector to collectively advance the newly emerging field of phytobiomes research.a phytobiome is a plant (phyto-) in a distinct geographical unit (-biome). Phytobiome research is a system-level approach focused on the complex interactions between plants, micro- and macro-organisms, soils, climate, environment, and management practices that affect the sustainable production of plants. Understanding the diverse and dynamic processes within phytobiomes is essential for ensuring the sustained health and productivity of crops, plant ecosystems, and, ultimately, consumers of plants and plant products. Phytobiomes 2024 will be held november 19-21, 2024 in ST. Louis, missouri, USA. This unique and multidisciplinary conference will advance the community's knowledge of the diverse disciplines focusing on phytobiomes and build momentum to apply this knowledge in an integrative, collaborative way to increase the sustainable production of food, feed, and fiber while minimizing losses from pests, pathogens, and environmental stresses.
