About this Research Topic
A major agricultural, medical, culinary, and environmental control process is monitored by bionanotechnology, particularly due to its tiny size. The use of bionanotechnology is made possible by a number of potential advantages, such as improving food quality and safety, lowering agricultural inputs, enhancing the absorption of nanoscale nutrients from the soil, etc. Natural resources, agriculture, and food all face difficulties related to susceptibility, sustainability, human health, and a good quality of life. In these thrust areas of research, bionanomaterials aim to lessen chemical dispersion, minimise nutrient losses during fertilisation, and boost yield through insect and nutrient control.
This Research Topic will contain research on natural bionanoparticles from experts in the field of bionanotechnology that addresses the current sustainability, food security, and climate change challenges.
