and why do we need them?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They are substances that naturally help plants grow.\u00a0These biofertilizers contain living microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi and algae.\u00a0These microorganisms increase the soil&#8217;s nutrient content, which helps plants grow.\u00a0Biofertilizers, unlike chemical fertilizers are safe for both the environment and humans.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Biofertilizers are not chemical fertilizers that directly feed plants.\u00a0They make nutrients available to the plants.\u00a0They help improve soil health, and crops grow stronger and healthier without harming the environment.\u00a0Biofertilizers are being used by farmers around the globe to produce food in a more environmentally friendly and safer way.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Learn more about biofertilizers, their types, advantages, and how they are
