Microbial Inoculants in Sustainable Agriculture: Advancements, Challenges, and Future Directions.

Plants (Basel)

January 2025

Laboratory of Microbial Resource Biotechnology, Department of Agronomic and Veterinary Sciences, Sonora Institute of Technology, 5 de Febrero 818, Centro, Ciudad Obregón 85000, Sonora, Mexico.

The rapid growth of the human population has significantly increased the demand for food, leading to the intensification of agricultural practices that negatively impact the environment. Climate change poses a significant threat to global food production, as it can disrupt crop yields and modify the lifecycle stages of phytopathogens and pests. To address these challenges, the use of microbial inoculants, which are bioproducts containing beneficial microorganisms known as plant growth promotion microorganisms (PGPMs), has emerged as an innovative approach in sustainable agriculture.

An integrated framework to guide evidence-informed public health policymaking.

J Public Health Policy

January 2025

Melbourne School of Population and Global Health, The University of Melbourne, Parkville, Australia.

Evidence-informed policymaking emphasizes that policy decisions should be informed by the best available evidence from research and follow a systematic and transparent approach. For public health policymaking we can learn from existing practices of transparent, evidence-informed decision-making for clinical practice, medicines, and medical technology. We review existing evidence-to-decision frameworks, as well as frameworks and theories for policymaking to address the political dimension of policymaking, and use this analysis to propose an integrated framework to guide evidence-informed policymaking.
