Dear colleagues,
It is with great enthusiasm that we announce the upcoming Food System Microbiomes 2025 International Conference! This second conference will explore the interconnectedness of microbiomes across food systems and their critical roles in addressing global challenges. It will be held in place in Wageningen, known as the “City of Life Sciences” from 25-28 November 2025.
Building on the success of the first Food System Microbiomes Conference in Torino, Italy, which brought together over 160 delegates from academia, industry, and policy sectors, this event will continue to foster collaboration and innovation in the field.
Microbiomes remain pivotal to advancing sustainable and resilient food systems. This year’s conference will feature discussions on microbiomes for global health, mitigating climate change, enhancing circularity and sustainability, improving nutrition and human health, and addressing risks in the food system. We will also spotlight novel microbiome concepts, cutting-edge applications, and emerging technologies driving progress in these areas.
A special highlight of the conference will be an open session organised by early-career researchers, providing a platform to showcase their insights and contributions to the field.
The Food System Microbiomes 2025 International Conference is organised by the MicrobiomeSupport Association, continuing its mission to increase awareness and drive innovation in food system microbiomes. This event offers a unique platform to connect with leading experts, share groundbreaking research, and shape the future of microbiome science.
Stay informed about program updates, speaker announcements, and networking opportunities by following us on our social media channels.
Looking forward to welcoming you in Wageningen at the Food System Microbiomes 2025 International Conference!
On behalf of the Organizing Committee
“The FSM Conference was a very inspiring meeting. I especially appreciated the high scientific level of the presentations and discussions, and the diversity of topics, ranging from the rhizosphere to fermented foods, from food production to bioinformatic approaches, all connected through microbiomes. The organisation managed to combine excellent science with a relatively small, informal atmosphere that was ideal for exchanging ideas and starting new collaborations. I am very honoured that our work was recognised with a poster prize.”

“Attending the FSM 2025 conference was a great experience, significantly widening my understanding of microbiome research and its scope in solving modern challenges related to diet, health, and agriculture. As a bioinformatician, I was particularly excited to see researchers showcasing advanced data-driven approaches across the field. I had engaging conversations with researchers during the poster sessions.”

“What I most appreciated about this year’s FSM conference was the ESR session, which gave young researchers in microbiome-related fields the chance to present their work creatively on such an important stage and to highly relevant audiences. It felt challenging for the participants and exciting for the listeners – definitely an experience to look forward to in the coming years!”
