Endophytic fungi as direct plant growth promoters for sustainable agricultural production (2021, background): “Given this scenario, food production will need to increase by roughly 70% by 2050 and double or triple by 2100, while trying to decrease the environmental impact of the food production activity (Crist et al. 2017; Poveda 2021a).”
