Can nanotechnology and genomics innovations trigger agricultural revolution and sustainable development?

Arzish Javaid, Sadaf Hameed, Lijie Li, Zhiyong Zhang, Baohong Zhang, Mehboob‐ur‐ Rahman · 2024 · Functional & Integrative Genomics

Summary. Nanotechnology and genomics innovations can transform agriculture toward sustainability and food security. Nanomaterials like nano fertilizers and sensors enable targeted delivery, improving crop production while reducing environmental impact. Genetic innovations including CRISPR gene editing develop crops with higher yields, resilience, and nutrition. Integrating both approaches—using nanoparticles for genetic modifications and nanosensors for plant health monitoring—creates a sustainable pathway for enhanced productivity, resource efficiency, and food safety.
