Introduction
As food standards in the UK decline, and obesity and ill health increase, it is becoming increasingly clear that the health of our soil underpins the health of our bodies. Soil quality determines the food we produce, the nutrients we consume, and the microbial diversity that supports immunity and resilience from the earliest stages of life. When soils are depleted, the health consequences reverberate across the animal and human populations.
Today, we bring together leading voices from science, healthcare, agriculture, and policy to explore how we can restore and maintain microbial diversity in our environment, our food and our bodies.
It is a privilege to convene this distinguished group at Goodwood. Together, we have the opportunity to shape a vision for healthier ecosystems and a healthier future for all.
