Sustainable use of soils is among the global challenges of the twenty-first century. The global population is projected to increase to 8.6 billion by 2030 and 9.6 billion by 2050, exacerbating the biotic and abiotic impacts of climate change on global food production. This rapid population growth, coupled with food and nutritional insecurity, land degradation, declining soil fertility, and stagnant crop productivity, poses significant threats to sustainable agriculture. Current research highlights the potential of legume intercropping to address these challenges due to its multifaceted benefits, including biological nitrogen fixation, enhanced soil microbial activity, and improved soil health. However, there is a need for more comprehensive studies to fully understand and optimize the integration of legumes into diverse cropping systems to maximize these benefits.
