The Probiotic Planet

"The Probiotic Planet" by Jamie Lorimer provides a comprehensive exploration of diverse probiotic approaches beyond traditional food products, examining how scientists and managers are leveraging biological processes to enhance human, environmental, and planetary health. The book contrasts these efforts with conventional antiobiotic methods and advocates for greater integration between science and policy. Drawing on fields like microbiology, ecology, and conservation biology, it highlights efforts to rewild environments on different scales and calls for a reevaluation of how these strategies are viewed and implemented globally.
