“…It estimates that about one-third of the world's food produced for human use is lost or destroyed each year [161]. Minimizing agricultural product losses reduces resource pressures and therefore reduces the need for chemical fertilizers and pesticides [162]. It is thus time to manage waste strategically to recycle, recycle and reuse agro-purpose.…”

Most of the early uses of nanotechnology have come from material sciences, although applications in agriculture are still expanding. Due to a few comprehensive reviews, we described application of nanomaterials along with their fate in soil and interaction with soil and plant system. From synthesis to metabolism, nano-fertilizers like zinc, silver, selenium, titanium oxide have enhanced the physio-chemical characteristics of crop plants in every manner conceivable. On the other hand, it has the potential to minimize pesticide use by boosting reactivity and surface area of nanoparticles. Nanotechnology in pesticides will, without a doubt, replace the current way of pesticide application because of its efficacy. Nano-based approaches can readily overcome the constraints of conventional soil remediation technologies. While soil nanomaterials mobility has been investigated in a limited number of research studies, it’s likely the most critical gap in knowing the real risk of their transport. As well as enhancing plant nutrient absorption, nanomaterials may also be used to regulate soil microbial activity and stimulate plant defenses. When it comes to shipping food, nanotechnology has made things easier by extending the shelf life of most foods. While it offers tremendous potential for agricultural applications, the health effects of nanoparticles on plants, animals, and humans must be thoroughly investigated.

“…There are enormous of examples where industrial waste has provided a base for replacement of fossil fuels and also acted as a source for the manufacturing of nanomaterials. The biological waste, particularly, agro-wastes could play its own role if used in a proper and environment friendly way in the same way (Javad et al 2020). In this section, two examples of agro-wastes as a common-model will be handled and presented in more details (i.e., biochar and banana peels), whereas the rice straw will be presented only in Fig.…”

A GRICULTURAL wastes are considered residues resulted during the agricultural production and after harvesting fruit and vegetable and their processing, agro-industrial by/co-products from the grapes, banana, olives and milk processing. These wastes may represent a treasure when they are turning into valuable applications (i.e., composts, biochar, adsorbents for removing pollutants from the environment and organic fertilizers) instead of burning it in open fields causing several environmental problems such as soil degradation and air pollution. The landfill disposal and open dumping of agro-wastes is a common practice in the developing countries generating huge amounts of ash, which may create serious health and environmental problems, primarily due to pollution of groundwater. Under the umbrella of the green bioeconomy and based on industrial innovation and high technology, new and better approaches for the recovery of agricultural wastes have been developed. This has contributed to guaranteeing sustainable production and its consumption, resource utilizing efficiency, the conversation of these wastes into valuable products and the reduction of negative environmental impacts.The common management of Agro-wastes may include a lot of suggested uses such as the production of biosynthesis of nanoparticles, biotechnological products, composting and biofuel production. Furthermore, a lot of bioactive compounds could be produced from the agrowastes, which have many application possibilities such as functional food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic approaches. The nano-management of agro-wastes may include using nanotechnology to convert the agro-wastes into a valuable product. This topic still has several open questions, particularly under sustainable and green bioeconomy prespective.
