The Institute of Agricultural and Food Biotechnology – State Research Institute (IBPRS-PIB, Warsaw) explores how microbiome-based innovation can redefine what it means to create truly healthy biotechnology — technologies that enhance food safety, environmental resilience, and human well-being simultaneously.
Today, microbiome research remains largely siloed, limiting its potential to drive systemic change in sustainable food production. Our initiative, aligned with the Horizon Europe topic HORIZON-CL6-2026-02-FARM2FORK-11, aims to integrate a holistic “One Health” perspective, connecting microbiology, AI, bioinformatics, and bioprocess engineering to uncover microbiomes’ functional role across ecosystems.
IBPRS-PIB’s infrastructure — including microbial collections, phenotyping and bioprocess platforms — supports activities such as data integration, predictive modelling, and pilot-scale validation. We invite partners to co-develop microbiome-driven solutions for resilient and competitive food systems, turning microbes into catalysts for a healthier biotech future.
