Month: September 2024

It all began with a curiosity-driven Dutch merchant who had no formal education in science. On September 17th, 1683, Antonie van Leeuwenhoek sent a letter address to the Royal Society of London, describing his observations of single-celled organisms. His insatiable curiosity and remarkable craftsmanship in building microscopes enabled the first-ever observation of bacteria.

The world was never the same, since.

Since 2017, September 17th has been marked as International Microorganism Day, honoring this momentous occasion in science. At MICROBES-4-CLIMATE, we recognize the crucial role microorganisms play in mitigating climate change, especially within the agro-food sector. Microorganisms have the potential to improve soil health, enhance sustainable agriculture, and even capture and store carbon. By integrating microbial solutions, we can foster more resilient ecosystems and adapt to the challenges of a changing climate.

We are thrilled to announce the launch of the very first edition of our MICROBES-4-CLIMATE Newsletter, titled “MICROBES-4-CLIMATE, for what, by whom, and where?” This newsletter showcases some of the activities promoted by the project in its first 6 months. What You’ll Find in This Edition:
