Due to changing climatic conditions and intense agricultural practices, the lands are on edge of losing their fertility. The rising demand for food has intensified use production synthetic fertilizers, which resulting in environmental pollution severe health issues. Microorganisms gaining attention as environmentally friendly alternatives synthetic/chemical fertilizers. biopesticides, biostimulants, biofertilizers provide higher crop yield productivity aid nutrient replenishment, soil amendment, conditioning. Algae a promising source bio-based organic fertilizers due biostimulant biofertilizer properties. To increase sustainability agriculture, microalgae seeking agrochemical industries. commercial can be enhanced by developing new technologies that cost-effective, economically & feasible. integrated approach produce algae-based through wastewater treatment supports development circular bioeconomy. mechanism should studied using molecular tools such genomics, metagenomics, proteomics, help validating benefit biofertilizers. Advanced machine learning artificial intelligence predict potential algae, optimize production, enhance biofertilizers' quality functionality. This chapter majorly focuses biofertilizers, contribution towards sustainable modern agriculture.

Protecting and building soil carbon has become a global policy priority, novel agronomic fertilization practices may contribute to protection climate-smart agriculture. The application of microbial inoculants (biofertilizers) is considered beneficial for climate -smart Therefore, an exhaustive meta-analysis biofertilization studies was carried out worldwide quantify the benefits on SOC concentration. Based 59 267 observations, found that biofertilizers significantly increased concentration by average 0.44 g C kg−1 soil. All biofertilizer types were estimated positively (0.18–0.70 kg−1soil), but only cyanobacteria, mixtures organisms, mycorrhizal fungi, nitrogen fixers statistically significant. In terms crop type, results significant positive cereals, fruits, legumes root/tuber crops (0.44–0.82 kg−1soil). A linear relationship observed between yield changes, supporting notion greater productivity helps explain increases, accounting 7% dataset variability. This study provides first evidence from assessment use associated with augmented terrestrial agricultural organic sink contributing food security where solutions are sought.

The worldwide growing food demand and the excessive use of synthetic chemical inputs compel agricultural sector to find innovative sustainable solutions enhance or at least maintain crop yields in times increased abiotic stresses levels linked global change. Currently, great research efforts are carried out on brown seaweeds as their environment lead them produce a broad range compounds, with osmoregulatory, antioxidant, pro-bacterial, plant-growth promoting activities. Indeed, numerous studies looking different combinations algal species, extraction processes, plant species environments culture highlight various effects extracts growth development, resistance stresses. Consequently, wide variety novel commercial products emerging, presenting diversified compositions, formulations means application. Such allow biostimulation plants soil by alleviating such drought, frost, salt. action macroalgal health has been repeatedly demonstrated, yet precise relation between extract composition its subsequent effect is still be elucidated, molecular synergy suspected play an important role. In this review, we present interest using biostimulants beneficial health, well against stresses, changes occurring.

Algae, both micro- and macroalgae, are recognized for their rich repository of bioactive compounds with potential therapeutic applications. These marine organisms produce a variety secondary metabolites that exhibit significant anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antimicrobial properties, offering promising avenues the development new drugs nutraceuticals. Algae-derived compounds, including polyphenols, carotenoids, lipids, polysaccharides, have demonstrated efficacy in modulating key inflammatory pathways, reducing oxidative stress, inhibiting microbial growth. At molecular level, these influence macrophage activity, suppress production pro-inflammatory cytokines, regulate apoptotic processes. Studies shown algae extracts can inhibit signaling pathways such as NF-κB MAPK, reduce damage by activating Nrf2, offer an alternative to traditional antibiotics combatting bacterial infections. Furthermore, algae’s extends addressing diseases cardiovascular disorders, neurodegenerative conditions, cancer, ongoing research exploring preclinical animal models. The pig model, due its physiological similarities humans, is highlighted particularly suitable validating bioactivities algal vivo. This review underscores need further investigation into specific mechanisms action clinical applications algae-derived biomolecules.
