“…As stated above, the applications of ENMs have been used for crop protection and fertilization to maximize crop production, sustainability, and resilience in the food system. However, such benefits could turn into risks for non-target plants, plant-beneficial microbes, and other plant-associated activities of microorganisms when these materials contaminate the environment [ 91 ]. Hence, in parallel to positive effects, it is worthy to also address potential or proved negative effects of nanomaterials applied through foliar or soil routes on plant-associated soil microorganisms [ 92 ].…”

Intensive conventional agriculture and climate change have induced severe ecological damages and threatened global food security, claiming a reorientation of agricultural management and public policies towards a more sustainable development model. In this context, nanomaterials promise to support this transition by promoting mitigation, enhancing productivity, and reducing contamination. This review gathers recent research innovations on smart nanoformulations and delivery systems improving crop protection and plant nutrition, nanoremediation strategies for contaminated soils, nanosensors for plant health and food quality and safety monitoring, and nanomaterials as smart food-packaging. It also highlights the impact of engineered nanomaterials on soil microbial communities, and potential environmental risks, along with future research directions. Although large-scale production and in-field testing of nano-agrochemicals are still ongoing, the collected information indicates improvements in uptake, use efficiency, targeted delivery of the active ingredients, and reduction of leaching and pollution. Nanoremediation seems to have a low negative impact on microbial communities while promoting biodiversity. Nanosensors enable high-resolution crop monitoring and sustainable management of the resources, while nano-packaging confers catalytic, antimicrobial, and barrier properties, preserving food safety and preventing food waste. Though, the application of nanomaterials to the agri-food sector requires a specific risk assessment supporting proper regulations and public acceptance.

Compost is considered not only to improve soil nutrients but also as a carrier of microplastic (MPs) pollution on agricultural land. Bibliometric analysis is a quantitative review approach that employs statistics, data mining, and mathematics to identify new academic trends. It is increasingly more prevalent and is utilized in several academic disciplines. To evaluate the evolution and extension of this body of knowledge and to forecast its future path, the present study analyzed Scopus-indexed research publications on compost from 2018 to 2022. To perform the bibliometric analysis, the VOSviewer software and Scopus Analytics were used. A total of 111 journal articles (n = 77) and conference papers (n = 3) were extracted. The number of research documents published by 111 authors was steadily increasing annually. China is the leading country in the number of publications and research collaborations. The current results offset global scientific efforts on MPs contamination in compost and inform that there is potential for compost to be a carrier of MPs contaminants in plants.
