“…Interestingly, engineering plants can have a positive effect on the environment as they may efficiently absorb soil nutrients and reduce the use of agrochemicals, in turn reducing environmental pollution (Barrows et al, 2014;Ranjha et al, 2022;Tyczewska, Twardowski et al, 2023;Zhang et al, 2016).

Sustainable Food. Production and Consumption Perspectives

The current trend of the increasing human population as well as the evolution of consumption patterns, increasing food demand and growing amounts of food waste influence changes along the entire food chain, from agricultural systems and natural resources to processing. It is worth underlining that the agri-food industry is considered one of the most important sectors of economic development in the world. However, the increased demand for food is depleting natural resources, causing soil erosion, landscape biodiversity loss and environmental pollution worldwide, creating new challenges for food security and sustainable food production. Therefore, sustainable agriculture and new technologies and approaches play an increasingly significant role in reducing negative environmental impacts while ensuring food safety. It stays in line with the model of food production development promoted by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, according to which sustainable agriculture means the production of healthy, high-quality food in an environmentally friendly way, caring for animal welfare and protecting biodiversity, as well as ensuring income for farmers. This approach is also consistent with many concepts focused on the issue of sustainable, eco-friendly food production, such as development of sustainable agriculture, the One Health concept, Climate-Smart Agriculture, the European Green Deal and the Farm to Fork Strategy, strongly emphasising efforts to create a healthier and more sustainable food system.

“…Similar unforeseen effects might result from using PGPRs in agriculture, such the proliferation of genes resistant to antibiotics or changes to the microbial ecosystems in the soil. Furthermore, environmental variables including soil pH, temperature, and humidity may have an impact on how effective PGPRs are (Gosal et al, 2020). To overcome these challenges, future research should focus on the development of safe and sustainable methods for the production and use of nanoparticles and PGPRs in agriculture.…”

This review explores how plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPRs) and nanoparticles can improve the physicochemical traits of wheat plants and boost crop yields. Wheat is essential for the world's food supply, but its growth is impacted by factors such as soil quality and climate. The potential for enhancing crop productivity and soil quality with PGPRs is promising. They improve wheat plant photosynthesis, soil fertility, nutrient availability, and antioxidant activity. When nanoparticles and PGPRs are used together, physicochemical characteristics are improved due to their synergistic effects. These environmentally friendly techniques have the potential to encourage the sustainable production of wheat, reduce dependence on synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, and increase soil fertility. However, it is critical to address any possible health and environmental risks associated with their use. Overall, PGPRs and nanoparticles are viable options for increasing wheat crop production and sustainability.

“…They can also be used as bio-detectors to monitor soil pollution so that it can be managed more efficiently or prevented. Lastly, GMMs can enhance nitrogen fixation and nutrient uptake in the soil (Gosal et al, 2020). Microbial biological control agents (MBCAs) are an example of GMMs that could be used in agricultural practices to make them more environmentally friendly and less polluting.…”
