N2 - Host-associated microbiomes are central to food production systems and human nutrition and health. Harnessing the microbiome may help increase food and nutrient security, enhance public health, mitigate climate change and reduce land degradation. Although several microbiome solutions are currently under development or commercialized in the agrifood, animal nutrition, biotechnology, diagnostics, pharmaceutical and health sectors , fewer products than expected have been successfully commercialized beyond food processing, and fewer still have achieved wider adoption by farming, animal husbandry and other end-user communities. This creates concerns about the translatability of microbiome research to practical applications. Inconsistent efficiency and reliability of microbiome solutions are major constraints for their commercialization and further development, and demands urgent attention.
