Abstract

This study investigates farmers' perceptions and adoption rates of AM fungi, identifying obstacles and proposing strategies for
widespread implementation. It explores the long-term sustainability and resilience of agricultural systems enhanced by AM
fungi, considering their adaptability to evolving climate conditions. Sustainable agriculture is an imperative global goal, given
the increasing pressures on food production, environmental conservation and resource preservation. In this context, Arbuscular
Mycorrhiza (AM) fungi, often overlooked beneath the soil's surface, emerge as a hidden key to achieving sustainability in
agriculture. These symbiotic fungi form mutualistic relationships with the roots of most land plants, offering a multitude of
benefits that encompass enhanced nutrient uptake, improved soil structure and heightened resistance to abiotic and biotic
stressors. It aims to assess their diversity, quantify their impact on crop growth and evaluate their contributions to nutrient
cycling and soil health.
