Nanotechnology in agriculture: Innovations for sustainability and greenhouse gas mitigation-A review

Deepanjan Mridha, Bishal Lamsal, João Arthur Antonângelo · 2025 · The Science of The Total Environment

Summary. Nanotechnology offers agricultural solutions for increasing food production while reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Nano-agrochemicals outperform conventional alternatives in enhancing plant growth and yield while potentially lowering agricultural emissions. However, concerns remain about their effects on soil health and microbial communities. The review emphasizes that synthesis methods, particle size, and dosage critically influence effectiveness, and calls for research balancing productivity gains against environmental sustainability risks.
