The uprising in materials science has been hosted by previous few decades. There has been a substantial research interest in the area of using particulate systems to accomplish various approaches. The conception or synthesis of material with nanometer-scale precision (nanoparticles), by means of material science, is nanotechnology. Nanoparticles are defined as particulate dispersal or solid particles, with a size in the range of 1-100 nm.This review intends to present biosynthesis and application of nanoparticles in minutiae. Here, we discussed different synthesis methods, i.e. chemical, physical and biogenic synthesis of nanoparticles. The potential come together between nanotechnology and biological science is enormous. Realistic biologics depends on units that have nanoscale dimensions (proteins, viruses, molecular motors, extra cellular matrix). Our major dictum is to focus the various facet of synthesis of nanoparticles, characterization, and its imperative application by giving accent on biogenic synthesis of nanoparticles.

“…Hasta el 70 % del nitrógeno aplicado a los cultivos mediante fertilizantes convencionales para mejorar las condiciones del suelo, se pierde debido a diferentes motivos. Un principio similar al descrito anteriormente puede usarse para mejorar la acción de los fertiliizantes, en este caso, para reducir las pérdidas de nitrógeno (37). El nitrógeno encapsulado en nanopartículas puede aprovecharse mejor, ya que los tejidos absorbentes de las plantas son nanopororosos, lo cual haría a los fertilizantes más eficientes y económicos a largo plazo (33).…”

La nanotecnología y los retos de sostenibilidad del sistema agroalimentario Nanotechnology and the sustainability challenges of the agri-food system Nanotecnologia e os desafios da sustentabilidade do sistema agroalimentar Resumen¿Pueden pequeñas cosas ayudarnos a reducir el hambre, la mala nutrición y las enfermedades transmitidas por alimentos? En realidad, la nanotecnología es al mismo tiempo un enfoque científico y un conjunto de tecnologías emergentes, tal vez las más detalladamente observadas en la historia. Actualmente, es un blanco de investigación en el cual se focalizan muchos de los recursos destinados a la financiación en ciencia, tecnología e innovación por parte de agencias públicas y privadas.De la nanotecnología se ha dicho, por más de una década, que guarda un potencial revolucionario que abarcaría la mayoría de las actividades productivas humanas, incluyendo aquellas propias del sector agroalimentario. Este sector, del cual depende directamente el abastecimiento de alimentos y, por ende, la seguridad alimentaria, sin duda enfrenta retos extraordinarios derivados de las presiones demográficas, las limitaciones en la disponibilidad de recursos como agua, energía y tierra, las pérdidas de alimentos en las cadenas de suministro y el cambio climático.En esta revisión se busca dar una visión introductoria a las potenciales aplicaciones de la nanotecnología relacionadas con alimentos y nutrición, en el contexto de los problemas globales de sostenibilidad. Asimismo, brinda consideraciones sobre los riesgos potenciales, el marco regulador y el rol de la nanotecnología agroalimentaria en los países en desarrollo.Palabras clave: nanotecnología; nanoestructuras; nanomateriales; sistema agroalimentario; seguridad alimentaria.Págs AbstractCan small efforts help to reducing famine, malnourishment and foodborne diseases? Nanotechnology is both a scientific approach and an emerging field in which major resources aimed at funding science, technology and innovation are channeled. For over a decade, Nanotechnology has been referred to as having a revolutionary potential regarding the agri-food sector. This sector is accountable for food supply and food security and faces immense challenges related to current demographic trends, limited access to natural resources such as water, energy, land, food losses in supply chains and climate change. This present literature review aims at providing an introductory overview on potential nanotechnology applications for global sustainability challenges regarding food and nutrition. The review also provides considerations on potential risks, legal frameworks and the role of agri-fo...

“…Application of nanofertilizers can reduce nitrogen loss due to leaching, emissions and long-term assimilation by soil microorganisms [228]. The ability of some NPs to penetrate seeds [229] or enter the root tissue [230] indicate the possibility to develop new nutrient delivery systems that exploit the nanoscale porous domains on plant surfaces and show sustained release of nutrients on demand, while preventing them from premature converting into chemical/gaseous forms that cannot be absorbed by plants [227].…”

Nanoagrochemicals, such as nanopesticides, nanofertilizers or plant growth stimulating nanosystems, were primarily designed to increase solubility, enhance bioavailability, targeted delivery, controlled release and/or protection against degradation resulting in the reduced amount of applied active ingredients and finally in a decrease of dose-dependent toxicity/burden. This paper is a comprehensive up-to-date review related to the preparation and the biological activity of nanoformulations enabling gradual release of active ingredient into weeds and the body of pests and controlled release of nutrients to plants. The attention is also devoted to the decrease of direct environmental burden and economic benefits due to application of nanoformulations, where less amount of active ingredient is needed to achieve the same biological effect in comparison with bulk. The application of nanotechnology in the areas such as food packaging, food security, encapsulation of nutrients and development of new functional products is analysed. The use of nanoparticles in biosensors for detection of pathogens and contaminants as well as in DNA and gene delivery is discussed as well. Benefits and health risks of nanoagrochemicals are highlighted, and special attention is given to nanoecotoxicology and guidelines and regulatory documents related to the use of nanoformulations in agriculture and food industry.
