Опубликована: Янв. 9, 2025

ABSTRACT Climate change significantly impacts terrestrial ecosystems by altering soil moisture, temperature regimes, rainfall patterns, and frequency of extreme weather events. These disruptions lead to shifts in community structures, accelerates land degradation processes, which turn exacerbate the global food crisis. This review explores roles earthworms fungi improving health mitigating insecurity through their contributions nutrient cycling, fertility, plant growth. Earthworms recognized as key biological agents structures enhancement, carbon sequestration. They play crucial heavy metal remediation, quality, fostering sustainable agricultural practices such organic farming. The emphasizes influence on dynamics, particularly response residues management, characteristics, field conditions. Earthworm activity positively affects microbial communities, growth, even under stress factors like contamination extremes. Review identifies research gaps understanding earthworm distribution, performance, capacity for remediation varied agro‐ecological contexts. In addition biotic factors, present also examines alternative habits superfoods strategies address zero hunger, aligning with United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) poverty eradication, improved health, overall well‐being. By incorporating into systems addressing critical needs, there is significant potential mitigate contribute alleviation crises.
