Nano-enabled Sustainable and Precision Agriculture EPUB

Nano-enabled Sustainable and Precision Agriculture is the first single-volume resource to cover this important field using a whole systems approach that considers both opportunities and challenges. The book provides a comprehensive understanding of the role of nanotechnology in agriculture from broad aspects, but also includes a comprehensive view of the interaction of nanomaterials with soil-plant systems. It highlights aspects not described in previous books, including the application of nanoinformatics and artificial intelligence in nano-enabled sustainable agriculture, the application of nanotechnology in alternative forms of agriculture such as hydroponics, and regulatory frameworks for this research field.

The book addresses all these aspects by including sections on enhanced sustainability, reduced pollution and enhanced ecosystems' health, and the role of nanoinformatics and machine learning.

• Provides foundational insights and resources for each area, including soil science, water chemistry, nanoscience, plant science, microbiology and nanoinformatics
• Focuses on mechanisms of action, transformations and the underpinning chemistry and biochemistry
• Includes linkages and cross-referencing between chapters to ensure a cohesive and comprehensive resource
