The agricultural sector is a vital source of human well-being that provides the necessities of daily life. A variety of farming systems are utilized in agriculture, such as a wide range of tillage options, no-till, agroforestry, precision farming, organic farming, cover cropping, crop rotations, etc. Each of these farming systems has unique challenges, and nanotechnology has successfully improved on many of them. Agricultural applications of nanotechnology include nanofertilizers, nanopesticides, nanosensors, nanobiotechnology, and nanoremediation. This study focuses on the application of nano-farming technologies to different farming systems. Suggested practices include nano improvement of soil quality, crop nano-protection under biotic stress, nanoremediation of polluted soil and water environments, nanomanagement of agro-wastes, nano-agrochemicals, nano-precision farming, and nanobiotechnology for modern farming. This review also addresses expected problems that may occur due to over application of nanomaterials to farming systems, such as nanopollution and nanotoxicity of agroecosystem compartments. Several dimensions are emphasized in this study, such as green energy, sustainable development, the circular bioeconomy, land biodegradation, pollution, and the one health approach, as essential for the global goals of sustainable development. Nanofarming presents both benefits and obstacles to human life. The exact balance between these benefits and challenges needs more study.

“…Zemheri-Navruz et al (2019) and Gholamhosseini et al (2020) reported that OLE can increase the immune response against viruses by stimulating phagocytosis. Nanotechnology implementation in agriculture has considered a revolution in agrotechnology in recent years (Chanu and Singh 2022), that completely replace the current farming practices. Therefore, disease management in plants applying nanotools could be beneficial in providing protection to plants against pathogens or management of disease through highly regulated and battered disposition of active components at require places (Zhera et al, 2021).…”

usarium wilt, a fungal disease, significantly threatens faba bean yield in Egypt. This current study investigated the potency of a combined application of endophytic bacteria, decomposed olive leaves extract (OLE), and iron nanoparticles (FeNPs) for its biocontrol and growth promotion in faba bean. Two endophytic bacterial strains isolated from helthy faba bean plants and identified using 16S rRNA nucleotide sequence as Bacillus subtilis and Pseudoroseomonas wenyumeiae were studied for their antagonistic and plant growth promoting traits activities, FeNPs was biosynthesized via Pseudoroseomonas wenyumeiae. OLE was biodegraded using a fungus Bosea thiooxidans to enhance its antifungal potential. A research experiment was designed based on natural field infection. Significant differences in disease severity index (DSI) and disease incidence (DI) were noticed. While untreated plants exhibited the highest disease burden (DI = 72.5%, DSI = 0.275),the combined application of bioagents, decomposed OLE, and FeNPs as both soil drench and foliar spray (FeNPs) showed the lowest disease severity (DI = 34.2%, DSI = 0.089). Treated plants demonstrated improved growth parameters, including increased height, wet and dry weight, number of pods, weight of 100 seeds, macro-and microelement content. This study suggested that the synergistic combination of endophytic bacteria, OLE, and FeNPs offered a promising and sustainable biocontrol strategy against Fusarium wilt in faba bean, promoting plant growth and reducing reliance on chemical pesticides.

“…Nanotechnology has especially demonstrated a strong potential for making greener, more sustainable agriculture [8,9]. The earliest examples of the application of nanotechnology to agriculture were reported in 2004 and have been linked with such areas as crop growth, animal breeding and aquaculture [10]. Reports have been published on a wide range of potential applications in the agroenvironmental sector, such as agrochemical delivery [11], nanofertilisers [12], improved stress tolerance [13], nanopesticides [14], soil protection [15], food packaging [16] and contaminant removal [17], amongst others.…”

Nanotechnology, nanosensors in particular, has increasingly drawn researchers’ attention in recent years since it has been shown to be a powerful tool for several fields like mining, robotics, medicine and agriculture amongst others. Challenges ahead, such as food availability, climate change and sustainability, have promoted such attention and pushed forward the use of nanosensors in agroindustry and environmental applications. However, issues with noise and confounding signals make the use of these tools a non-trivial technical challenge. Great advances in artificial intelligence, and more particularly machine learning, have provided new tools that have allowed researchers to improve the quality and functionality of nanosensor systems. This short review presents the latest work in the analysis of data from nanosensors using machine learning for agroenvironmental applications. It consists of an introduction to the topics of nanosensors and machine learning and the application of machine learning to the field of nanosensors. The rest of the paper consists of examples of the application of machine learning techniques to the utilisation of electrochemical, luminescent, SERS and colourimetric nanosensor classes. The final section consists of a short discussion and conclusion concerning the relevance of the material discussed in the review to the future of the agroenvironmental sector.
