Presentation:
Microbe-based biofertilizers and biostimulants: Natural allies for healthy and triving soil 

Key Points:
• Soil health is the foundation of sustainable agriculture, environmental quality, and food security
• Maintaining healthy soils is essential for producing high-quality and safe food
• Biofertilizers offer eco-friendly alternatives that enhance soil fertility, plant performance, and resilience while reducing environmental impacts.
• Microbial indicators are key tools for assessing soil health status, guiding sustainable land management, conservation strategies, and food safety from farm to fork.
• Enhancing soil health by integrating biofertilizers and safe soil improvers into soil management represents a key global challenge in addressing climate change, land degradation, and long-term food security.
