The objective of this study is to present a systematic review of the literature addressing the use of biofertilizers in family farming as a strategy for increasing resilience and climate adaptation, its relationship with Brazilian public policies, and with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's benchmarks for climate justice and just transition. To this end, the PRISMA method was used, which is state of the art for studies that aim to systematically review the literature on a given topic, and a case study on the non-commercial biofertilizer Hortbio®. It was possible to verify the need to migrate from the conventional model of food production to regenerative agriculture, including the use of bio-inputs as a strategy. Bio-inputs contain a series of microorganisms capable of producing compounds similar to plant growth-promoting hormones that can increase the tolerance of agricultural crops to abiotic stresses. Hortbio® fits into this context, with great microbial diversity, auxin production, and proven ability to increase heat tolerance in lettuce. Its open formula and non-commercial nature make it a potential solution that meets the IPCC's climate justice and just transition frameworks.
