Nano-Enabled Innovations in Agriculture
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
In alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the field of agriculture is experiencing transformative change driven by nano-enabled innovations. As the global population continues to grow, the demand for sustainable agricultural practices under the changing climate becomes ever more critical to ensuring food security, improving livelihoods, and maintaining environmental health. The integration of nanotechnology in agriculture offers promising solutions to these challenges, enhancing areas such as precision farming, pest control, antimicrobials, water management, soil health, drought-tolerant crops, crop protection, and sustainable energy usage.
This Topic seeks to explore the diverse applications of nanomaterials, nanoparticles, and nanodevices in modern agriculture. From improving crop yields and reducing chemical dependency to enabling smarter irrigation systems and enhancing post-harvest processing and extending shelf life, nano-innovations are at the forefront of creating more sustainable agricultural practices. Moreover, these technologies support the energy-efficient use of resources and mitigate environmental pollution, aligning with the global push toward carbon-neutral development.
We invite researchers, scientists, and academics to submit original research papers, reviews, or recent progress in the application of nano-enabled technologies for agriculture. Submissions will contribute to advancing knowledge on how these innovations can be scaled to achieve the SDGs, with a focus on eco-friendly and energy-efficient solutions. Participating journals include Applied Nano, Nanomaterials, Plants, Sustainability, and Agriculture.
