Soil sampling efforts were carried out across various departments in Paraguay and Cuba, targeting growth-promoting bacteria like Bradyrhizobium sp., Azospirillum sp., and Pseudomonas fluorescens, capable of converting atmospheric elements into organic compounds for plant growth and producing biostimulants. These initiatives emphasized the significance of biofertilizers in bolstering family farming practices and empowering local communities through sustainable agriculture practices.
