Guided tour of the exhibition: “Small roommates, big goals – Insights into the interplay of plants, microbes and sustainability”
Plants are never alone: a multitude of microscopic roommates live on and inside them. Some promote growth and health, while others can cause disease. The exhibition brings these hidden relationships to light and shows how closely they are linked to the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. Vivid examples clearly illustrate how microorganisms can help make plants more resilient, reduce the use of fertilizers and conserve natural resources such as soil and water. In this way, they can make an important contribution to sustainable agriculture, the protection of biodiversity and adaptation to climate change.
This event is part of LMU Sustainability Week, which will take place from 9-13 November 2026 at various LMU locations.
Prior registration is required by November 6. For more information, please see the LMU Sustainability Week program.
