News project wheat biome

On 8 June 2026, the WHEATBIOME project hosted a field trip in Obory, near Warsaw, exploring the potential of recirculating wheat by-products through fermentation to create more sustainable poultry feed

On 23 June, the WHEATBIOME project welcomed researchers, industry representatives, policymakers and other stakeholders to GreenUPorto.

How One Health connects wheat fields, microbiomes and human health. Discover what the EU Wheatbiome project reveals about sustainable food systems from soil to plate.

A new article has been published in the European Dissemination Media Agency (EDMA) online magazine, authored by Sonata Adomavičiūtė-Grabusovė, Rita Vilaça, Susana Soares, and Rosa Perez-Gregorio — researchers from the WHEATBIOME project. The piece highlights the role of microbial communities in shaping wheat crop performance and sustainability. Wheat is a cornerstone of global food security,

Wheat is one of the most vital crops for global food security, but its future hinges on a deep transformation towards sustainability, resilience, and better health outcomes. At EDAGRI, we highlight groundbreaking research initiatives driving this change. Below, we explore two key articles that dive into the scientific and agricultural advances shaping the next generation

Grupo Editorial Agrícola Henar Comunicación, in collaboration with the School of Agricultural and Environmental Engineering at the Pontifical University of Comillas in Valladolid (INEA), held a workshop to present the advances of the Wheatbiome project. The event was inaugurated by Félix Revilla Grande, director of the School of Agricultural and Environmental Engineering at the Pontifical

Deciphering the wheat microbiome is crucial for understanding its potential and developing healthier, more sustainable, and more resilient food and feed products. This is the goal of Wheatbiome, a European-wide project conducting various studies—including in Castilla y León—to examine the impact of biotic and abiotic factors on wheat microbiomes and overall wheat quality. Ultimately, these

Wheat is a staple crop that feeds millions, but challenges such as climate change and soil degradation threaten its future productivity. To address these challenges, Wheatbiome project is investigating the interactions between soil, plant, and human microbiomes, aims to foster the development of sustainable farming practices and create healthier wheat-based food and feed products. This

We are excited to announce a major development in the WheatBiome project, with significant progress made in our Work Package 1 activities. Our recent wheat sampling campaign has been successfully completed, marking an important step in our journey to revolutionise sustainable agriculture. Strategic Sampling Across Diverse Agricultural Practices In this campaign, we focused on collecting

The WheatBiome project recently reached a key milestone with the successful completion of its second harvesting and sampling campaign, which took place on June 11th and 12th, 2024. Teams from the Universidade de Vigo, Universidade do Porto, and the Laboratório Associado para a Química Verde (LAQV/REQUIMTE) conducted extensive fieldwork in the wheat-growing region of Zamora,
