Jill Jones & Michele Clarke, Ph.D., Tuesday, April 22, 10 a.m.

Bacteria are the unsung heroes of life, essential to our existence and health. These microscopic powerhouses gave rise to complex life billions of years ago and continue to sustain us today. The bacteria in our gut influence everything from digestion to mental health, while the microbes in soil enable plants to grow, producing the food we depend on. The plant microbiome bridges the gap, transferring beneficial microbes from soil to our plates and ultimately to our bodies. By nurturing these interconnected microbial communities—with diverse diets, regenerative farming, and mindful living—we create a thriving ecosystem that supports our vitality and well-being.
