Could the key to a sustainable food system already be growing in
the world’s farms? Plant scientist Giles E.D. Oldroyd explores how
a special quirk of soybean plants allows them to naturally partner
with networks of fungi and bacteria to access essential nutrients
in the air and soil — eliminating the need for synthetic
fertilizers. He shows how harnessing these microscopic powerhouses
could help scientists rewire crops to make their own fertilizer,
reducing pollution, increasing yields and improving livelihoods for
smallholder farmers.
