What is Applications of Yeast for Environmental Clean-up and Sustainable Agriculture about?

Yeast bioprospecting and metagenomics: from classical to modern applications for agriculture and environment Current agricultural system has multiple challenges to ensure the global demand of food for a growing population that is expected to increase around 10 billion in 2050. Therefore, we need to increase food production by 60% to supply this demand (Hern andez -Fern andez et al., 2021). That implies considering several factors, such as adopting more efficient and sustainable production methods to establish new global food security projections. Unfortunately, nowadays, there is still an uncontrollable use of chemical fertilizers that have a toxic impact on the agricultural ecosystem, contributing to serious health and environmental concerns, development of resistant populations to pathogens, soil contamination by pesticides, and loss of microbial diversity (Hern andez-Fern andez et al., 2021;Nwachukwu et al., 2022). From this, the use of microorganisms as biofertilizers arises as a potential and sustainable alternative for agriculture, whose history initiated around 120 years ago (Kumar et al., 2022). Therefore, some bacteria and fungi, including genetically modified bacteria, ha
