**3. Fungal biofertilizer and its role in agriculture sustainability**

Internationally, agricultural production and food manufacturing has to increase twofold in 2050 or the coming years so as to nourish the global growing population while reducing dependence on conventional chemical fertilizers and pesticides. In the past few decades, the increase in extreme chemical fertilizer and pesticide application for crop production has produced a difference in the soil ecosystem. In the present situation of global warming and a disturbed ecosystem, soil microflora regulates how healthy a generation of plants, animals, and humans would be. In light of this, the usage of fungal biofertilizers as a maintainable solution has gained importance over the years [8].

Pesticides, on the other hand, are a double-edged sword. Though targeted on exact targets, they constrain nontarget organisms including the soil mycoflora, which eases the growth of plants. Research shows how agricultural sustainability and economic stability depend on fungal biofertilizers [9].
