“…To understand and reduce the harmful effects of toxic metals and metalloids, it is necessary to have a thorough understanding of the complex mechanisms that occur at different levels within the plant, such as physiological, biochemical, molecular, cellular, and overall plant function . The ultimate goal is to improve crop productivity. , Although plants possess internal defensive systems to mitigate the harmful effects of toxic metals and metalloids, these defenses frequently prove inadequate . In order to counteract the harmful effects, plants utilize a range of secondary messengers to activate cell signaling, which in turn triggers many transcriptional responses associated with plant defense. , Plants have the capability to tolerate heavy metals, are controlled by a variety of regulatory and noncoding genes, and are sustained by specialized structural genes.…”

Plants respond to environmental pollutants and experience several abiotic stresses, among which heavy metal stress has been a serious concern in the global scientific community due to its yield-limiting effects on crop plants. Heavy metals intrude into the plant defense system and interfere with the cellular machinery, leading to metal toxicity and resulting in plant growth inhibition or death. Plants employ several counterbalance strategies, such as the formation of phytochelatins or metallothionein metal complexes, or vacuolar sequestration of ligand–metal complexes, etc., to combat heavy metal stress. Additionally, microbes present in the rhizospheric region share a special relationship with plants and immobilize heavy metals to improve plant health. Thus, the precise detection of heavy metals in adjoining environments is crucial to develop strategic defense strategies for sustainable agriculture. In this context, plant-based biomarkers have evolved as a promising approach. This review sheds light on heavy metal stress, various defense strategies employed by plants, and potential biomarkers used to detect heavy metal stresses and tries to draw a possible roadmap toward smart and sustainable agriculture.

“…The first group is edible mushrooms, the second group is protein-based nanoparticles, the third group is nano-nutrients, and the last group is nanofibers. The use of nanotechnology in agri-food production can be noticed in several sectors, such as nano-/biosensors for detecting pathogens [83], nano-management of agrowastes [84,85], nano-enhancement of the shelf-life of agri-products [86], nano-identification and tracking of agri-foods [87], nano-agrochemicals for crop improvement [88], nanofibers for wastewater treatment [58,89], nano-or bio-remediation of soil and water [90], and nanocarriers to provide targeted delivery of treatments [91]. For example, the most common nanomaterial-based sensors include magnetic NPs, gold NPs, silica NPs, carbon nanotubes, peptide nanotubes, and quantum dots, which are used to detect different pathogens and their toxins [92].…”

The relationship between agriculture and food is very close. It is impossible to produce adequate crops for global food security without proper farm management. Farming practices represent direct and indirect controlling factors in terms of global food security. Farming management practices influence agro-food production from seed germination through to the post-harvest treatments. Nano-farming utilizes nanotechnologies for agricultural food production. This review covers four key components of nano-farming: nano-mushroom production, protein-based nanoparticles, nano-nutrients, and nanofibers. This provides a comprehensive overview of the potential applications of nanotechnology in agriculture. The role of these components will be discussed in relation to the challenges faced and solutions required to achieve sustainable agricultural production. Edible mushrooms are important to food security because they are a nutritious food source and can produce nanoparticles that can be used in the production of other food sources. Protein-based nanoparticles have considerable potential in the delivery of bioactives as carriers and other applications. Nano-nutrients (mainly nano-selenium, nano-tellurium and carbon nanodots) have crucial impacts on the nutrient status of plant-based foods. Carbon nanodots and other carbon-based nanomaterials have the potential to influence agricultural crops positively. There are promising applications of nanofibers in food packaging, safety and processing. However, further research is needed to understand the impacts and potential risks of nanomaterials in the food production system.

“…Recently, many reports have confirmed that nanotechnology can contribute to global food security amid the escalating challenges posed by the growth of the global population and the impacts of climate change [43,182,[186][187][188]. The use of nanomaterials in producing food has received substantial investigation, such as nano-identification and tracking of agri-foods [189], nano-management of agro-wastes [190,191], nano-biosensors to detect pathogens [192], nano-enhancement of the shelf-life of agri-products [193], nanoagrochemicals for crop improvement [179], nanofibers for wastewater treatment [194], nano-bio-remediation of soil and water [195], and nano-carriers to provide targeted delivery of treatments [196]. These areas of nanomaterials research help address the overarching issue of global food security.…”

Increased heat stress is a common feature of global climate change and can cause adverse impacts on crops from germination through maturation and harvest. This review focuses on the impacts of extreme heat (>35 °C) on plants and their physiology and how they affect food and water security. The emphasis is on what can be done to minimize the negative effects of heat stress, which includes the application of various materials and approaches. Nano-farming is highlighted as one promising approach. Heat is often combined with drought, salinity, and other stresses, which together affect the whole agroecosystem, including soil, plants, water, and farm animals, leading to serious implications for food and water resources. Indeed, there is no single remedy or approach that can overcome such grand issues. However, nano-farming can be part of an adaptation strategy. More studies are needed to verify the potential benefits of nanomaterials but also to investigate any negative side-effects, particularly under the intensive application of nanomaterials, and what problems this might create, including potential nanotoxicity.
