Abstrakt: The exploration of knowledge for crop improvement has been a continuous practice to address the food insecurity of the growing human population, and the necessity of the new knowledge is crucial due to decreasing arable land and climate change. The proper use of technology and knowledgebase has the potential to narrow down poverty in the world, more specifically in developing countries. This review aimed to assess the role of the endophytic and rhizospheric bacteria as a potential crop improvement tool in climate-smart agriculture. Endophytic and rhizospheric were found to be efficient alternatives to the chemical-based solution to develop crops. Endophytic and rhizospheric bacteria have improved many agronomic traits such as yield, quality, disease resistance, and stress tolerance. Besides, we discussed the recent development of the field-level application of endophytic and rhizospheric bacteria. These bacteria have potential since they are efficient in developing crops significantly without affecting the environment in a deleterious way. In terms of biodiversity, natural resources such as endophytic and rhizospheric bacterial application to crops are unlikely to affect the non-target species. Hence, endophytic and rhizospheric bacteria application in crop improvement is applicable for agricultural development, thereby ensuring food sustainability without affecting the environment, eventually leading us to climate-smart agriculture. This review aims to recapitulate the current knowledge and prospects of endophytic and rhizospheric bacteria to achieve the goal of climate-smart agriculture. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
