Abstract

The worldwide expansion in human population poses a serious threat to each person's food security, as agricultural land is restricted and, in some cases, disappearing. As a result, agricultural production must be greatly increased during the next few decades to fulfil the high food demand of the rising population. Not to add, a heavy reliance on chemical fertilisers for increased agricultural productivity eventually harms the environment, human health, and soil health. Microbes as bio-fertilizers are being explored as a possible replacement to chemical fertilisers in the agriculture industry due to their vast potential.
