Summary
Abstract Background Urban agriculture represents an opportunity to alleviate some of the issues related with the increased urbanization and global human population. Productive rooftops offer a promising solution that combines food production and recycling of organic waste, while providing green spaces without consuming urban soils. In addition, harnessing natural resources, including plant-associated microbiomes, is proposed as an effective approach to sustainably improve farm productivity and food quality. However, little attention has been given to the importance of selecting the appropriate organic substrate to enhance plant-microbe interactions and rooftop farming in urban areas. Here, we study the influence of different organic substrates on tomato, and its associated microbial commun
