Pastures serve as the primary source of grass and forage plants for grazing livestock, requiring adequate nutrient input to sustain growth soil fertility. Slurry from livestock industry is widely utilized a sustainable cost-effective alternative chemical fertilizers. Microorganisms within slurry–pasture system are essential breaking down organic matter, facilitating cycling, improving health. However, mismanagement or inefficient microbial decomposition can lead significant issues, such leaching into water bodies, causing eutrophication, antimicrobial resistance, reduced availability in pastures, which, turn, may negatively impact productivity. Thus, this paper investigates composition benefits slurry pasture management, highlights roles evaluates regulatory frameworks Ireland Europe. Additionally, it examines environmental risks associated with improper application, providing insights support management practices.

Objective: The study aims to analyze the role of soil microbiomes in sustainable food production, highlighting their influence on fertility, plant resistance environmental stresses, and reducing dependence chemical inputs. Theoretical Framework: research is based studies microbial diversity its relationship with agricultural productivity, concepts biological nitrogen fixation, biotechnology, microorganism-plant interaction for optimizing systems. Method: This a bibliographic review analysis scientific articles, dissertations, theses published between 2018 2024, extracted from databases such as Scopus, Web Science, SciELO. Inclusion exclusion criteria were considered select relevant topic. Results Discussion: findings indicate that use biofertilizers, crop rotation, application beneficial microorganisms contribute improving productivity sustainability. However, challenges regulating bioinputs adapting microbiological techniques climate conditions still need be overcome. Research Implications: Exploring has potential transform practices, promoting greater efficiency nutrient absorption resilience face change. Originality/Value: contributes literature by bringing together recent advances microbiomes, agriculture pointing out opportunities adoption these strategies.
