“…Utilisation of bio-fertilizers is another way to improve nutrient availability without the use of chemical fertilizers. Bio-fertilizers are microorganisms that have the ability to colonize rhizosphere that has the ability to supply primary nutrients to the soil, thereby promoting the growth of the host plant (Gautam et al, 2021). The arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), and, and nitrogen-fixing rhizobia are the three major groups of microorganisms that are considered biofertilizers (Wezel et al, 2014): the most common bio-fertilizer is the nitrogen-fixing rhizobia which have been in existence for centuries.…”

“…The arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), and, and nitrogen-fixing rhizobia are the three major groups of microorganisms that are considered biofertilizers (Wezel et al, 2014): the most common bio-fertilizer is the nitrogen-fixing rhizobia which have been in existence for centuries. Recently, there have been efforts in the commercialization of PGPR and AMF inoculants, especially in Europe and America (Gautam et al, 2021). The bio-fertilizers have been reported to be very effective in uptake of N, growth promotion, and maintaining crop yield in the face of climate change (Wezel et al, 2014;Dasgupta et al, 2021;Maan and Garcha, 2021).…”

Nations of the world have seen unprecedented changes in climate variables in recent decades. But it is unclear to what extent climate change has impacted and will impact food systems in some developing regions, and how policymakers can frame an approach to encouraging adaptation and advancing climate-smart agriculture. Many studies attempting to link agroecology to climate change adaptation do so without understanding the potential of Agroecology not only to mitigate climate change – which is the weak response – but to reverse its impact and ‘climate proof’ our food systems. By modeling the near and far future impacts of climate change on crop production, we showed how climate will impact crop production under two crop production systems (agroecology and non-agroecology production systems). The overarching aim is to derive sustainable development strategies and lessons for policymakers and climate researchers - essential components of environment and Agricultural development. Using case studies from Nigeria, we observed that transitioning to agroecology, even at the farm level also transforms farm designs, thereby affecting their overall food and nutrition status. The result showed that the use of agroecology management practices not only reduces the impact of climate change in the near future but will also lead to increased crop yield in the future. The finding suggests that to feed the over 400 million projected population of Nigeria by 2050, the use of agroecological practices will be a better alternative to the conventional farming methods. To advance the use of agroecological farming methods, governments at every level in Nigeria need to mainstream organic agriculture in national government policies. This is important as it will not only address climate change impacts but also hunger and poverty.

One of the ways to solve the problem of technogenic pollution is to implement biotechnologies for agricultural lands. The study aims to assess the efficiency of microbiological preparations in the cultivation of potatoes near metallurgical plants in the south of Eastern Siberia. The research was conducted in 2015-2016 on three plots located near Shelekhov aluminum production plant. The Japanese preparation EM and the Russian microbial preparations Baikal EM1 and Fitosporin-M were used. The effect of biological products on plant protection from fungal diseases was observed only in 2015. The two-year application of Fitosporin-M increased the potato yield (by 13-22%) on cultivated alkaline soils; on weakly acidic soils, an increase in the yield (by 26%) was observed only in 2016. When applying EM preparations, a stable increase in the yield (14-22%) was observed on weakly acidic soils; on alkaline soils, an increase in the yield was observed in less than 50% of cases. In general, the stable yield enhancement was observed when applying Fitosporin-M on the alkaline soils. The effectiveness of the EM preparations depended on the agrophone and weather conditions.
