The European Union and its Member States have set themselves to achieve climate neutrality across the EU by 2050. The agricultural sector is one of the emitters of greenhouse gases (GHG). To achieve its climate neutrality goals of reducing the increase in global temperature to below 2°C and limiting it to 1.5°C, the EU has adopted the Green Deal and the Farm to Fork Strategy based on it. These goals create the need for the development and implementation of innovations. The agricultural sector will experience several innovative approaches in the future, including the digitalization of agriculture and the use of biotechnologies, including microbiological approaches. As a result, the agricultural industry will face significant changes in farming methods. In this article, the need for innovation in agriculture, the main microbiological factors that determine both soil health and yield levels are discussed and the principle by which the economic benefits of using innovative microbiological preparations in agriculture are calculated is shown. The use of microbiological preparations in agriculture can maintain crop yields and reduce GHG emissions.
