The Role of Nanoparticles in Sustainable Agriculture

Abstract

Abijieen Rajuri

Agriculture faces increasing challenges due to the rising global population,
climate change, and the growing demand for food, fiber, and biofuels.
Traditional agricultural practices often place strain on the environment through
excessive use of chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and water resources. As a
result, there is an urgent need to adopt more sustainable farming practices that
enhance productivity while minimizing environmental impact. One of the most
promising innovations to address these challenges is the use of nanoparticles
in agriculture. Nanoparticles, which are materials with dimensions in the
range of 1 to 100 nanometers, have unique physical and chemical properties
that differ significantly from bulk materials.
