The future of humanity depends on nurturing microbial communities from "summary" of The Hidden Half of Nature: The Microbial Roots of Life and Health by David R. Montgomery,Anne Biklé
The health and well-being of humanity are intimately tied to the health and diversity of microbial communities in the soil, water, and our bodies. These tiny organisms play crucial roles in natural systems by cycling nutrients, breaking down organic matter, and supporting plant growth.

In recent years, scientific research has revealed the profound impact that microbial communities have on human health. The trillions of microbes that live in and on our bodies influence our immune system, digestion, and overall well-being.
