The agricultural industry is becoming a viable component of a healthy ecosystem. This paper aims to present the environmental advantages of the use of biofertilizers in the agroecosystem. The paper discusses some of the types of biofertilizers that are based on biological nitrogen fixation, PGPR, EM, and their benefits to the soil environment and growing crops. There is now a need to adopt a more environmentally friendly approach by applying biofertilizers to aid better nutrient uptake by plants, to stimulate their growth, and increase the population of beneficial microorganisms in the rhizosphere, thereby increasing crop yields, and stabilizing soil fertility, thus ensuring a healthy environment. The application of biofertilizers has an impact on the formation of larger plant biomass, as it increases the mass and improves the number of fruits per plant, increases the standard yield, and improves the quality of the production. Scientific developments in different parts of Europe, America, Africa and Australia present the efficiency of biofertilizers in crops that are typical for these regions - fruits, vegetables, cereals, essential oil crops, etc.
