REGULATORY FRAMEWORKS SHAPING THE ARBUSCULAR MYCORRHIZA FUNGI MARKET: AN IN-DEPTH ASSESSMENT OF AGE-ADAPTIVE APPROACHES
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study examines the regulatory frameworks governing Arbuscular Mycorrhiza fungi, analysing the impact on market dynamics. By examining international and regional regulations, the research aims to identify challenges and opportunities for market players, offering recommendations for a sustainable and compliant market expansion. Arbuscular Mycorrhiza (AM) fungi play a crucial role in enhancing plant growth and soil health through symbiotic relationships with the roots of most plants. As the importance of sustainable agriculture gains prominence, the market for AM fungi has witnessed substantial growth. However, this burgeoning industry is not without its challenges, particularly in navigating the complex landscape of regulatory frameworks. The regulatory landscape surrounding the production, distribution and application of AM fungi is diverse and often varies across regions. This study examines the global regulatory frameworks and their impact on market dynamics, considering the nuanced approaches taken by different countries. Moreover, it highlight the evolving concept of age-adaptive approaches within these frameworks, acknowledging the dynamic nature of AM fungi and their interactions with diverse plant species at different growth stages.
