Agricultural eco-intensification is based on the optimal management of all components of the agroecosystem. One of the components most sensitive to changes is the soil, where the role of microorganisms present in the rhizosphere is fundamental. That is why this work aims to analyze the potential of using microorganisms as a basis for eco-intensification in agricultural systems. This potential was analyzed with a meta-analysis of 203 publications in the period from 2015 to 2022, whose collection was subjected to a frequency analysis of keywords and thematic axes and a cluster analysis (level 3) of the nodes identified using the Nvivo software. The results indicate that only 5.9% analyzed highlight the importance of soil microbiology in agricultural eco-intensification. It is concluded that agricultural eco-intensification promotes fewer inputs, low production costs, and optimal incomes while conserving the soil, improving water content and quality, restoring soil and habitat health, and reducing the emission of greenhouse gases in the agroecosystem. The strengthening of soil microorganisms as an element of eco-intensification represents a niche to improve agroecosystems’ ecology, productivity, and profitability, taking advantage of and maximizing the ecosystem services they offer. This involves deepening research into these interactions to encourage their adoption by farmers.
