Abstract
Agriculture is undergoing a technological revolution, with nanotechnology emerging as a key innovation for enhancing productivity, sustainability, and resilience. This chapter provides an in-depth exploration of nanotechnology applications in agriculture, including nano-fertilizers, nano-pesticides, and nano-sensors for real-time monitoring of crop health and soil quality. It also highlights how nanotechnology integrates with other modern practices such as precision farming, biotechnology, and digital agriculture to address global challenges like climate change, resource scarcity, and food insecurity. The chapter further examines sustainable practices and future perspectives for leveraging nanotechnology to achieve efficient and environmentally responsible agriculture.
