Over the past 100 years, the rapid growth in population from 2 billion to 8 billion has significantly impacted the environment and climate change. In addition, food consumption has skyrocketed, and there are widespread worries about global food security. Due to inadequate soil and plant management techniques, including high soil tillage, chemical fertilizers, inappropriate irrigation, and genetically engineered crops, this spike has made it more difficult to guarantee food security for everyone on the planet. These actions have resulted in societal unrest, climatic change, and land degradation. With organic carbon mineralization, more CO2 is released into the atmosphere because of atmospheric heating and climate change. Long-term greenhouse gasses released into the atmosphere cause global climate change. Increasing climate changes and the inefficiency of soil productivity result in the natural effects of the rhizosphere on plant growth and food security. One of the most effective mechanisms of the rhizosphere is mycorrhizal fungi, which are injured microorganisms. Frequently disregarded mycorrhizal fungi present a potential solution. While sequestering carbon from the atmosphere, they can increase agricultural yields, plant health, and soil fertility. For sustainable agriculture and environmental preservation, it is essential to understand and take advantage of the potential of mycorrhizal fungi. A crucial area for study and practical application is the function of mycorrhizal fungi in reducing these difficulties and enhancing food security. Considering rising environmental challenges, understanding their contributions and researching their relationships may help create a more stable and secure global food system..
