An Underground Network - The Internet Beneath Our Feet
A new global study reveals arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi – microscopic fungi living in the soil – form an underground network stretching an estimated 110 quadrillion kilometres across the planet. Rather than one giant organism, it functions more like the internet itself with billions of interconnected local networks linking plant roots and exchanging nutrients, water and carbon.

From Milk to Microbes Could Taupo Bio Valley Feed the Future?
The concept is simple but powerful. Imagine a Taupo Bio Valley stretching across New Zealand's geothermal corridor, where renewable energy, industrial heat and biotechnology come together to produce the next generation of food ingredients and nutritional products. Precision fermentation facilities could manufacture animal-free whey protein, casein, collagen and specialised food ingredients using microbes rather than livestock. Geothermal energy would provide the stable power
