The World Microbiome Partnership (WMP) is an international forum founded in 2023 with funding from the EU Horizon 2020 to create a governance structure for microbiome manipulation across agriculture, medicine, and climate policy.

The WMP is aligned with the One Health and Planetary Health agendas (the same ones behind both the EAT-Lancet commissions "Planetary Health Diet" and the UN's Food Systems Summit that promises to eliminate animal agriculture).

WMP participants include the WHO, the CDC, NIH, and biotech firms. They promote the idea that microbial communities must be governed like other strategic assets.

The key thing to understand is that the technocrats are reframing the microbiome as critical infrastructure: more like an energy grid or communication network than a sacred, living ecosystem.

As biotech companies deploy platforms to build GMO microbes to do everything from "manufacturing", to biomarkers, to surveillance — the WMP seeks control of these novel systems, positioning microbial life as programmable, governable...and ultimately weaponizable.
