Revolutionizing Agricultural Sustainability and Food Security and Management to Achieve SDGs Goals via Nanotechnology

Abstract

Modern farming has evolved by adopting technological development such as machines for tillage and harvesting, controlled irrigation, fertilizers, pesticides, crop breeding, genetics research, and biotechnological tools for trait improvement. These innovations helped farmers to produce a large quantity of quality crop yield. However, achieving the best possible yield from various types of soil is still in progress, and there are major losses related to food wastage - especially during and post-harvest - where the production is not monitored and handled well. The industry needs a smart and accurate solution that is possible through new technologies. Various tools and technology in agriculture can help in smart farming such as GIS remote sensing, nanotechnology, and genome editing tools including molecular biological techniques. Smart farming aims to use modern technological tools to improve crop yield and product quality.
