Cadmium (Cd) contamination in rice paddies poses serious threats to food safety. This study investigated the effects of bamboo biochar, a microbial agent, and their combination on Cd accumulation, soil properties, and rhizosphere microbial communities in the rice cultivar ‘Ning 47’ (Oryza sativa L.) under Cd stress (20 mg·kg⁻¹). Cd stress significantly reduced plant height, root length, and yield. However, combined treatment with biochar and microbial agent (CdMB) effectively mitigated these effects, reducing Cd content in grains, stems, and roots by 85.98%, 88.66%, and 73.89%, respectively, compared to Cd treatment alone. The CdMB treatment also significantly increased soil organic matter and total nitrogen content while decreasing soil Cd levels by 88.38%. Network analysis identified Flavisolibacter as a keystone taxon under CdMB treatment, indicating enhanced microbial network stability. This also provides a theoretical reference for the management of heavy metal contamination in agricultural soils. By reducing grain Cd contamination and enhancing soil health, this integrated approach addresses key targets of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, including SDG 2 (Zero Hunger), SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being), and SDG 15 (Life on Land).
