Microbiological fertilizers as a pathway to linking soil health and human wellness

Soil health is increasingly recognized as a cornerstone of sustainable agriculture and human wellness. Conventional reliance on chemical fertilizers often undermines soil biodiversity, reduces long-term fertility, and raises concerns about food safety. In contrast, microbiological fertilizers—based on beneficial microorganisms such as nitrogen-fixing bacteria, phosphate- solubilizing microbes, and mycorrhizal fungi—offer an organic pathway to restore soil vitality while enhancing vegetable nutrition. This study explores how microbial inoculants improve nutrient cycling, strengthen plant resilience, and reduce chemical residues in food systems. By fostering balanced microbial communities, these biofertilizers not only increase the bioavailability of essential micronutrients but also contribute to safer and more nutritious vegetables. Linking soil health with human wellness, the findings highlight microbiological fertilization as a viable alternative to synthetic inputs, supporting both ecological sustainability and public health through cleaner, nutrient—rich food production.
