“…Developing effective biofertilizers requires an exhaustive study of the interactions between microorganisms, plants, and their environment. Plant and microbial responses differ when exposed to diverse environmental conditions [33,34,128]. Biofertilization protocols should be designed for each specific environment considering the humidity, temperature, soil properties, and native microbial communities already colonizing the area [86,122,128].…”

Obesity is a critical medical condition worldwide that is increasingly involved with nutritional derangements associated with micronutrient deficiencies, including iron, zinc, calcium, magnesium, selenium, and vitamins A, C, D, and E. Nutritional deficiencies in obesity are mainly caused by poor-quality diets, higher nutrient requirements, alterations in micronutrient metabolism, and invasive obesity treatments. The current conventional agricultural system is designed for intensive food production, focusing on food quantity rather than food quality, consuming excessive agricultural inputs, and producing nutrient-deficient foods, thus generating severe health and environmental problems; agricultural food products may worsen obesity-related malnutrition. Therefore, modern agriculture is adopting new biofortification technologies to combat micronutrient deficiencies and improve agricultural productivity and sustainability. Biofertilization and nanofertilization practices are increasingly used due to their efficiency, safety, and reduced environmental impact. Biofertilizers are preparations of PGP-microorganisms that promote plant growth by influencing plant metabolism and improving the nutrient uptake, and nanofertilizers consist of synthesized nanoparticles with unique physicochemical properties that are capable of increasing plant nutrition and enriching agricultural products. This review presents the current micronutrient deficiencies associated with obesity, the modern unsustainable agri-food system contributing to obesity progression, and the development of bio- and nanofertilizers capable of biofortifying agri-food crops with micronutrients commonly deficient in patients with obesity.

“…Therefore, in this case, implementing sustainable practices to enrich anti-obesity phytochemicals is of major relevance to not contribute to the current agriculture-related problems. Among these technologies, the development of biofertilizers and nanofertilizers has gained attention in recent years due to their reduced environmental impact, low cost, sustainability, and their ability to increase the content of nutrients and bioactive compounds (Prasad et al, 2019;Guardiola-Márquez et al, 2022;Mahapatra et al, 2022).…”

“…Biofertilizers are formulations of beneficial microorganisms that promote plant health and growth by stimulating plant metabolism or increasing nutrient uptake from soil reserves, abiotic stress resistance, and suppression of plant pathogens (Kour et al, 2020;Hesham et al, 2021;Guardiola-Márquez et al, 2022). Soil microorganisms interact with the root system of plants by trading nutrients and signaling metabolites.…”

“…Plant root exudates include sugars, amino acids, proteins, flavonoids, organic acids, fatty acids, etc., which offer an exclusive environment and are essential growth substrates for soil microbe establishment (Khatoon et al, 2020). In return, plant growth-promoting microorganisms (PGPM) colonize the plant's rhizosphere and root system and promote growth through different mechanisms, including atmospheric nitrogen fixation, mineral solubilization (phosphorus, potassium, and zinc), siderophores production, heavy metal sequestering, mineralization of soil organic matter, suppression of phytopathogens and production of phytohormones (auxins, cytokinins, and gibberellins) and enzymes (phosphatases, and catalases) (Prasad et al, 2019;Khatoon et al, 2020;Sammauria et al, 2020;Hesham et al, 2021;Guardiola-Márquez et al, 2022;Mahapatra et al, 2022). Biofertilization has been applied to many plant species with anti-obesogenic activity (Table 1).…”

Overweight and obesity are two of the world's biggest health problems. They are associated with excessive fat accumulation resulting from an imbalance between energy consumed and energy expended. Conventional therapies for obesity commonly include synthetic drugs and surgical procedures that can lead to serious side effects. Therefore, developing effective, safe, and readily available new treatments to prevent and treat obesity is highly relevant. Many plant extracts have shown anti-obesogenic potential. These plant extracts are composed of different agriceuticals such as fibers, phenolic acids, flavonoids, anthocyanins, alkaloids, lignans, and proteins that can manage obesity by suppressing appetite, inhibiting digestive enzymes, reducing adipogenesis and lipogenesis, promoting lipolysis and thermogenesis, modulating gut microbiota and suppressing obesity-induced inflammation. These anti-obesogenic agriceuticals can be enhanced in plants during their cultivation by applying sustainable fertilization strategies, improving their capacity to fight the obesity pandemic. Biofertilization and nanofertilization are considered efficient, eco-friendly, and cost-effective strategies to enhance plant growth and development and increase the content of nutrients and bioactive compounds, representing an alternative to overproducing the anti-obesogenic agriceuticals of interest. However, further research is required to study the impact of anti-obesogenic plant species grown using these agricultural practices. This review presents the current scenario of overweight and obesity; recent research work describing different plant species with significant effects against obesity; and several reports exhibiting the potential of the biofertilization and nanofertilization practices to enhance the concentrations of bioactive molecules of anti-obesogenic plant species.

“…Unfortunately, one of the main problems affecting the microbial equilibrium in the soil is modern intensive agricultural production practices, such as indiscriminate, uncontrolled, and excessive use of chemical fertilizers to maintain and increase agricultural productivity due to the growing pressure on food production generates, in addition to soil and groundwater pollution, a rupture in the interactions between plants and beneficial soil microorganisms [ 5 , 6 , 7 , 9 , 12 ]. Long-term use of fertilizers reduces soil microbial diversity.…”

Plant growth-promoting microorganisms (PGPM) benefit plant health by enhancing plant nutrient-use efficiency and protecting plants against biotic and abiotic stresses. This study aimed to isolate and characterize autochthonous PGPM from important agri-food crops and nonagricultural plants to formulate biofertilizers. Native microorganisms were isolated and evaluated for PGP traits (K, P, and Zn solubilization, N2-fixation, NH3-, IAA and siderophore production, and antifungal activity against Fusarium oxysporum). Isolates were tested on radish and broccoli seedlings, evaluating 19 individual isolates and 12 microbial consortia. Potential bacteria were identified through DNA sequencing. In total, 798 bacteria and 209 fungi were isolated. Isolates showed higher mineral solubilization activity than other mechanisms; 399 bacteria and 156 fungi presented mineral solubilization. Bacteria were relevant for nitrogen fixation, siderophore, IAA (29–176 mg/L), and ammonia production, while fungi for Fusarium growth inhibition (40–69%). Twenty-four bacteria and eighteen fungi were selected for their PGP traits. Bacteria had significantly (ANOVA, p < 0.05) better effects on plants than fungi; treatments improved plant height (23.06–51.32%), leaf diameter (25.43–82.91%), and fresh weight (54.18–85.45%) in both crops. Most potential species belonged to Pseudomonas, Pantoea, Serratia, and Rahnella genera. This work validated a high-throughput approach to screening hundreds of rhizospheric microorganisms with PGP potential isolated from rhizospheric samples.
