🌱 Spotlight on Research: Isabel Siles Asaff 🌱 At Soils2Guts, we are excited to show a glimpse the work of one of our talented PhD candidates, Isabel Siles Asaff, who is delving into the fascinating world beneath our feet: soil. As part of her research, Isabel is investigating soil microbial biomass—an essential indicator of soil health. She collects soil samples directly from the field using a soil core, which she brings back to the lab for further analysis. In the lab, the soil undergoes several steps: it is shaken in a salt solution, filtered, and finally prepared for measuring microbial biomass. This video gives you a glimpse of the process as she weighs the soil for these critical measurements. Isabel’s work is a fascinating reminder of the incredible diversity and activity happening within soil—and how understanding it can help us protect ecosystems and improve sustainable practices. 🌍 🎥 Watch the video to see Isabel in action! #SoilScience #Research #PhDSpotlight #MicrobialBiomass #SoilHealth #Soils2Guts Bac2nature Marco Van Es Lune Walder Annick Diekman Jeroen Maljaars Maarten Tushuizen Young Hae Choi Sofia Gomes Marieke Elfferich Shana Hepping Daniel Rozen Gerard Breeman Peter van Bodegom Jan Willem Erisman Sahar El Aidy Diana Ilyaskina Ciska Veen Wim van der Putten Emiel Elferink Martina Sura-de Jong Pauline Drost Daisy Jonkers John Penders Andre van der Wurff PhD Bart van Meurs Dirk Zwinkels Marco van Gurp Petra Boorsma Milan Franssen René Verhoeven Eric van der Graaff Rob Baan

🌱 𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗦𝗼𝗶𝗹 𝘁𝗼 𝗚𝘂𝘁: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝗠𝗶𝗰𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗲𝘀 🌍 A study in 𝘗𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘕𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 explores the crucial link: how microbe-rich soils contribute to healthier foods and therefore healthier guts. The research highlights that sustainable farming practices can enhance soil microbial diversity, resulting in crops with optimized microbiomes that positively influence human health. At Soils2Guts, we are committed to building an integrated understanding of how 𝘀𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗮𝗴𝗿𝗶𝗰𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗽𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀 can improve soil functional biodiversity. Our objective is to build an integrated understanding of how sustainable agricultural practices can improve soil functional biodiversity, leading to optimized crop microbiomes, thereby reducing gut dysbiosis and reducing the incidence of non-communicable diseases. This study reaffirms our mission to connect soil and gut health as part of a sustainable approach to improving food systems and public health. By enhancing soil biodiversity, we can produce nutrient-rich foods that support healthier, more resilient gut microbiomes. 📚 Learn more about the study here: https://lnkd.in/ejuzugHM #Soils2Guts #SoilHealth #Sustainability #Microbiome #GutHealth Bac2nature Marco Van Es Lune Walder Annick Diekman Jeroen Maljaars Maarten Tushuizen Young Hae Choi Sofia Gomes Marieke Elfferich Shana Hepping Isabel Siles Asaff Daniel Rozen Gerard Breeman Peter van Bodegom Jan Willem Erisman Sahar El Aidy Diana Ilyaskina Ciska Veen Wim van der Putten Emiel Elferink Martina Sura-de Jong Pauline Drost Daisy Jonkers John Penders Andre van der Wurff PhD Bart van Meurs Dirk Zwinkels Marco van Gurp Petra Boorsma Milan Franssen René Verhoeven Eric van der Graaff Rob Baan MicroHealth_KIC Harro Bouwmeester Julian Voet Alisa Allais Sofia Leonti

“Life on earth depends on healthy soils” Healthy soils provide humankind with a broad range of essential services, including healthy food and water. This paper summarizes the outcomes of a stakeholder consultation campaign carried out in 20 countries within the European Joint Programme for Soil consortium. It is described how climate-friendly soil management can contribute to soil health, food security and biodiversity in Europe. It identifies obstacles such as technical, political and social barriers and offers strategies such as increased funding, knowledge sharing and regionally adapted solutions. By understanding the barriers and opportunities, 𝐩𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐲𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐫𝐬, 𝐟𝐚𝐫𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐬 and 𝐬𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐬 can develop more effective strategies for sustainable soil management and climate adaptation. This is critical to ecosystem health, agricultural productivity and natural resource conservation, all of which directly affect our quality of life.

Meet Isabel Siles Asaff, one of our PhD students within the Soils2guts project. Isabel is not only researching indoors, but also went outside, into the field. She is very passionate about soil because she believes it is a complex world on itself that is the basis of every ecosystem. Her research focuses on soil ecology and how to harness soil microbiome to enhance crop quality in agricultural systems. For this research she went into the field to gather soil to examine. While being in the field she enjoyed the company of dogs, cows, carrots and ofcourse soil. Research on soil is very important because it is the basis of our food systems, and we have yet so much to understand. Soil affects how our crops grow and therefore our food. This is how soil impacts our health. Want to know more about Soils2guts?

Volg de cursus ‘Van Alg tot Zuurdesem’! Morgen is één van onze PhD studenten, Shana Hepping aanwezig bij deze cursus in ARTIS. Tijdens deze cursus ontdek je alles over de rol van microben in voeding: van fermentatie tot jouw eigen microbioom en de rol van microben in het eten van de toekomst. #Soils2guts #Artis #Microben ARTIS | Natura Artis Magistra

Public perceptions of Microbes Recent research highlights how little is known about public perceptions of micro-organisms and microbiomes. This makes it difficult to develop tailored messaging. This study concludes that non-microbial interests, such as an interest in health and wellness, may lead to acquisition of microbial knowledge and that people want scientists to share microbial messages preferably on platforms like social media. Additionally, this research identified that confusion about microbial terms is often accompanied by a desire to understand human-centric benefits of microorganisms and microbiomes. It is suggested that microbiologists partner with science communicators to develop microbial messaging, capitalizing on connections to non-microbial interests and appealing to people’s microbial worldview.
