Abstract

Agrochemicals used to meet the needs of a rapidly growing human population can deteriorate the quality of ecosystems and are not affordable to farmers in low-resource environments. Here, we propose the use of plant growth-promoting microorganisms (PGPMs) as a tool for sustainable food production without compromising ecosystems services.

Keywords: agrochemicals; environmental sustainability; plant growth-promoting microorganisms; sustainable agriculture.
