Nanotechnology monitors a leading agricultural controlling process, especially by its miniature dimension. Additionally, many potential benefits such as enhancement of food quality and safety, reduction of agricultural inputs, enrichment of absorbing nanoscale nutrients from the soil, etc. allow the application of nanotechnology to be resonant encumbrance. Agriculture, food, and natural resources are a part of those challenges like sustainability, susceptibility, human health, and healthy life. The ambition of nanomaterials in agriculture is to reduce the amount of spread chemicals, minimize nutrient losses in fertilization and increased yield through pest and nutrient management. Nanotechnology has the prospective to improve the agriculture and food industry with novel nanotools for the controlling of rapid disease diagnostic, enhancing the capacity of plants to absorb nutrients among others. The significant interests of using nanotechnology in agriculture includes specific applications like nanofertilizers and nanopesticides to trail products and nutrients levels to increase the productivity without decontamination of soils, waters, and protection against several insect pest and microbial diseases. Nanotechnology may act as sensors for monitoring soil quality of agricultural field and thus it maintain the health of agricultural plants. This review covers the current challenges of sustainability, food security and climate change that are exploring by the researchers in the area of nanotechnology in the improvement of agriculture.
纳米技术监测着一个领先的农业控制过程，尤其是因其微小尺寸。此外，许多潜在益处，如提高食品质量和安全性、减少农业投入、从土壤中富集吸收纳米级养分等，使得纳米技术的应用成为一个备受关注的领域。农业、食品和自然资源是可持续性、易感性、人类健康和健康生活等挑战的一部分。纳米材料在农业中的目标是减少化学药剂的施用量，通过病虫害和养分管理最大限度地减少施肥中的养分流失并提高产量。纳米技术有望通过用于快速疾病诊断控制的新型纳米工具、提高植物吸收养分的能力等，改善农业和食品工业。在农业中使用纳米技术的重大意义包括纳米肥料和纳米农药等特定应用，以追踪产品和养分水平，在不污染土壤和水的情况下提高生产力，并抵御多种虫害和微生物病害。纳米技术可作为监测农田土壤质量的传感器，从而维护农业植物的健康。本综述涵盖了纳米技术领域研究人员在改善农业方面所探索的可持续性、粮食安全和气候变化等当前挑战。
