Abstract
Metagenomic description of agricultural microbiomes has led to the identifi cation of interesting bacterial and fungal
taxonomic consortia that play important roles in both crop health and food safety issues. Metagenomic approaches in
agro-ecologies have also helped to identify critical control points and important drivers of phyllosphere microbiota. All of
these data are advancing recommendations for data based Good Agricultural Practices and FSMA regulations.
