“…Several efforts have been made to avoid these problems by moving toward the sustainable application of agrochemicals (pesticides), such as nano-formulation-based pesticides [67], green and microbial pesticides [68], and bio-pesticides [69]. The same trend exists for mineral fertilizers, where significant progress has been made toward sustainable fertilizer management through smart fertilizers [40], biogenic nano-fertilizers [29], nanocomposite-based smart fertilizers [70], and nano-biofertilizers [71]. Integrated farming practices are a critical tool for achieving sustainable farming and should be adopted.…”

“…Several reports have been published on the benefits of nanotechnology for sustainable agriculture, such as controlling agro-processes [20], enhancing food quality and safety [21], reducing agro-inputs [22], effective agrochemical delivery [23,24], detecting abiotic/biotic stresses in plants [25,26], mitigating abiotic/biotic stresses in plants [17,27], and enhancing the uptake of nutrients from soil [28,29]. Therefore, nano-enabled technology has great potential for promoting sustainable agriculture by revolutionizing agro-practices, leading to reduced losses and increasing the efficiency of inputs [22].…”

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.

“…Today's food sector can benefit significantly from Nanotechnology by achieving food security, improving nutrition, and promoting sustainable agriculture. By using nanoparticles to distribute nutrients [ 116 , [118] , [119] , [120] ] directly to plant roots and nanosensors to detect nutrient deficits in soil, new agricultural technologies [ [87] , [88] , [89] , [90] , [121] , [122] , [123] , [124] ] can be created to boost crop yields and decrease waste (Goal 15). Furthermore, by incorporating silver, titanium dioxide, silver, gold, copper, and cadmium sulfide nanoparticles into packaging materials to provide a barrier against oxygen and moisture, nanotechnology can be used to build novel food packaging [ [125] , [126] , [127] , [128] , [129] ] materials that prolong food's shelf life and lower spoilage.…”

“…Nanofertilizers are consid-ered eco-friendly alternatives to chemical fertilizers, which have several environmental problems, especially under excessive application. Many problems for the food chain can be expected due to the intensive use of chemical fertilizers because of their drastic deteriorating effect on agroecosystem health, degradation of soil fertility, and damage to human health [83]. Nano-enabled fertilizers are agrochemicals that have the ability to control nutrient release, enhance nutrient use efficiency (NUE), economic feasibility, and environmental compatibility [84].…”

Soil salinity is a serious global problem that threatens a high percentage of the global soils. Salinity stress can create ionic, oxidative, and osmotic stress, along with hormonal imbalances, in stressful plants. This kind of stress was investigated on agricultural productivity at different levels, starting in vitro (plant tissue culture), through hydroponics, pots, and field conditions. Several approaches were studied for managing salinity stress, including using traditional materials (e.g., gypsum, sulfur), organic amendments (e.g., compost, biochar, chitosan), and applied manufactured or engineered nanomaterials (NMs). Application of nanomaterials for ameliorating salinity stress has gained great attention due to their high efficiency, eco-friendliness, and non-toxicity, especially biological nanomaterials. The application of NMs did not only support growing stressful plants under salinity stress but also increased the yield of crops, provided an economically feasible nutrient management approach, and was environmentally robust for sustainable crop productivity. Nano-management of salinity may involve applying traditional nano-amendments, biological nanomaterials, nano-enabled nutrients, nano-organic amendments, derived smart nanostructures, and nano-tolerant plant cultivars. Producing different plant cultivars that are tolerant to salinity can be achieved using conventional breeding and plantomics technologies. In addition to the large-scale use of nanomaterials, there is an urgent need to address and treat nanotoxicity. This study aims to contribute to this growing area of research by exploring different approaches for nano-management of current practices under salinity stress under field and in vitro conditions. This study also raises many questions regarding the expected interaction between the toxic effects of salinity and NMs under such conditions. This includes whether this interaction acts positively or negatively on the cultivated plants and soil biological activity, or what regulatory ecotoxicity tests and protocols should be used in research.
