In de toekomst hoopt Gomez deze studie te herhalen met groenten van meerdere biologische en conventionele boerderijen.
De onderzoekers hopen dat toekomstige experimenten laten zien dat GABA overvloediger is in fermenteerbare producten uit meerdere boerderijen in Minnesota, en uiteindelijk dat het consumeren van groenteverbonden uit herstellende boerderijen gunstiger is voor de hersengezondheid in vergelijking met die van conventionele boerderijen.
De resultaten van de studie toonden aan dat de microbiomen van regeneratieve en gemakkelijk gefermenteerde groenten aanzienlijk verschillend waren.
GABA is een kritische neurotransmitter die geassocieerd wordt met optimale mentale gezondheid en die meestal wordt geproduceerd door een groep bacteriën genaamd melkzuurbacteriën tijdens het fermentatieproces.
Deze toename van GABA in regeneratieve gefermenteerde groenten is een belangrijke bevinding, aangezien de " darm-brein-as " een groeiend onderzoeksgebied is dat voedingsbronnen voorstelt om psychische gezondheidsproblemen aan te pakken door de darmmicrobioom te moduleren.

Fermentation may hold the key to meeting the world's growing nutrition needs, as well as creating a growth opportunity for the food industry.
Morgan Stanley Research estimates fermented foods could become a market of at least $30 billion by 2030.
The industry will expand its facilities to a commercial scale, allowing fermented products to be used for broader food applications in the form of egg, dairy and meat replacements.
In Morgan Stanley Research’s most bullish estimates, the total addressable market for fermented food could reach $120 billion in 2030, or four times the baseline scenario.
Morgan Stanley Research sees two main phases for fermented food development: Phase 1 and Phase 2.
Phase 1 will require an initial investment of up to $22 billion.
Phase 2 will require regulatory support, technological advancement and consumer acceptance for fermented foods, besides an estimated investment of $78 billion.
By 2028, commercial facilities targeting millions of tons in volume will come on board and allow for penetration into mainstream food and beverage applications, including animal and dairy replacements.
The optimistic growth scenario could be triggered by an acceleration in government and corporate support and a higher level of consumer acceptance due to better taste and quality of fermented products.

Precision fermentation could possibly be the biggest environmental technology invented by humans.
By using microbes as ‘cell factories’ instead of livestock agriculture or petrochemicals, we might be on the cusp of a world that will look radically different from what we’re used to.
