Nanomaterials (NMs) have shown relevant impacts in crop protection, improvement of yields, and minimizing collateral side effects of fertilizer and pesticides in vegetable and fruit production. The application of NMs to improve biofortification has gained much attention in the last five years, offering a hopeful and optimistic outlook. Thus, we propose comprehensively revising the scientific literature about the use of NMs in the agronomic biofortification of crops and analyzing the beneficial impact of the use of NMs. The results indicated that different species of plants were biofortified with essential elements and macronutrients after the applications of Zn, Fe, Se, nanocomposites, and metalloid NPs. In addition, the physiological performances, antioxidant compounds, and yields were improved with NMs. Using nanofertilizers for the biofortification of crops can be considered a promising method to deliver micronutrients for plants with beneficial impacts on human health, the environment, and agriculture.

Traditional fertilizers often lead to nutrient runoff, leaching, and soil degradation, exacerbating environmental issues such as water pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. In this chapter's introduction, the authors highlight the pressing challenges facing global agriculture, including rapid population growth, climate change, and resource constraints, necessitating innovative solutions for sustainable food production. Nanotechnology emerges as a promising avenue to address these challenges, offering tailored approaches to nutrient management and soil conditioning. Nano-fertilizers, nanocarriers, and nanostructures present novel solutions by leveraging the unique properties of nanoparticles. These nanoparticles provide controlled release mechanisms, improved solubility, and targeted delivery, optimizing nutrient uptake efficiency and minimizing environmental impact. The chapter delves into the formulation and composition of nano-fertilizers, exploring advanced techniques such as nanoencapsulation and stimuli-responsive materials. Mechanisms of nutrient release and uptake by plants are elucidated, showcasing how nanoparticles interact with plant roots, modify rhizosphere chemistry, and enhance mycorrhizal associations. Moreover, the role of nanoparticles in promoting nutrient uptake, particularly micronutrients, underscores their potential to improve crop growth and development, even in adverse conditions like saline soils. Furthermore, nano-enhanced soil amendments offer a transformative approach to soil management, contributing to soil health, structure, and fertility. By integrating nanotechnology into agricultural practices, researchers aim to foster more efficient, sustainable, and environmentally friendly farming methods. Ultimately, the chapter sets the stage for exploring the innovative potential of nanotechnology in revolutionizing agriculture and ensuring food security in the face of mounting global challenges.
