Fermented forest litter (referred to as 'lifofer') is a biostimulant used by farmers across several regions in the Global
South (Southeast Asia and Latin America) to enhance food crop performance through germination, plant growth,
and biological control of certain fungi. It may also serve as a probiotic in animal husbandry, for building sanitation or
draining soils. The Institut Méditerranéen de Biodiversité et d'Écologie (IMBE), via its Terre et Humanisme (T&H)
network, has championed the reappropriation of lifofer, an agent scarcely recognised by farmers and largely
underresearched in France, Europe, and Africa. IMBE has also benefited from farmers' knowledge to adjust its
research and better answer the agricultural field's questions about the use of lifofer
