Empowering smallholder farmers to raise productivity by adopting sustainable practices sits at the heart of feeding the world’s rapidly growing population. Professor Esperanza Martínez-Romero (National University of Mexico) is addressing this challenge by harnessing the power of beneficial bacteria to promote plant health. She received the 2020 L’Oréal-UNESCO For Women in Science International Award for Latin America.
