Abstract The global demand for agricultural production will assume increased due continuous increase of worldwide populations. Therefore, there is need for enhancing farm production in sustainable way within the cultivable land and horrible climate conditions with gradually decreasing nutritional quality of food, soil fertility, health and water quality. Others, problem is green revolution which causes the similar problem of soil fertility loss and pesticide contamination in environment. So scientific communities are thinking and doing research for sustainable development. In that case, plant microbiome can be one sustainable approach for enhancing agricultural productivity and food quality as well as soil quality. It is involved a potential role to reduce the occurrence of plant disease, increase agricultural production, reduce chemical inputs, and reduce emissions of greenhouse gases resulting in more sustainable agricultural practices. In this book review, we attempt to explore about functional importance of plant microbiome in term of sustainable development.
