    Chemical fertilizers enable sufficient food production to support the global population, but their manufacture is a major source of greenhouse gas emissions, and their use destroys native ecosystems. In Nature, soil microbes fertilize plants, engaging in elemental cycling, waste degradation, and ecosystem protection against stressors such as extreme temperatures and drought. Join MIT Professor Ariel Furst as she discussed how coatings of agricultural microbes to seeds can inexpensively revolutionize agricultural production while protecting the environment.
