Soil, more commonly known as dirt, is an intricate combination of compounds such as organic matter, minerals, gases, liquids, and lifeforms, all of which help to nurture life. It is universally acknowledged that environmental issues such as soil degradation (erosion and desertification) have a global impact on many agricultural lands. These issues have led to a reduction in soil quality, a low yield of crops, poverty, unemployment, and rural-urban migration. Since the beginning of civilization, the soil has been mixed with cementitious binders to prevent the above. Recently, because of the excessive use of chemicals and synthetic products, the requirement for eco-friendly and natural/green substitutes is increasing. This is because cement, which is an extensively used soil treatment substance, significantly contributes to greenhouse gas emissions. Synthetic polymers, microbial induction, and biopolymers are among the alternatives that are being explored. This article analyzes the most current applications of microbial biopolymers in soil improvement. Biopolymers are microbiologically enhanced polymers that are high- ductile, non-toxic, & environmentally friendly. Recent research and microscopic studies on interactions of soil and biopolymer and their soil-strengthening mechanisms are reviewed in this article.
