One promising pathway toward a more sustainable food system is the development of MICROBIAL FOODS
To help navigate this rapidly growing field, we have published a new Insight article: “Building Better Microbial Foods: Essential Development Steps and Stakeholders” authored by **Oliver Konzock** & **Rodrigo Ledesma-Amaro, PhD** Ledesma-Amaro in Critical Insights in Biotechnology, as a part of the Mic2Food – COST Action.
This article offers a comprehensive roadmap for developing microbial foods and an introduction to key stakeholders and resources in the field:
✅ 3 types of microbial foods (precision, traditional & biomass fermentation)
✅ 6 essential development steps
✅ Key stakeholders, institutions, & infrastructure,
✅ Future directions (artificial intelligence, microbial biodiversity, and regulatory changes)
