Abstract

Conventional agricultural practices often rely heavily on large amounts of fertilizers and pesticides, which can have detrimental effects on both existing organisms and ecosystems. In contrast, sustainable agriculture advocates for minimal use of agrochemicals to safeguard the environment and conserve various species.. Various techniques, including geoinformatics and the utilization of nanoparticles and nanoionics, contribute to advancements in agricultural productivity, poverty reduction, and food security. Geoinformatics methods aid in identifying soil types and their structures. Nanotechnology offers significant benefits in agriculture, including the development of nanofertilizers and nanopesticides, which enhance productivity without soil degradation while providing protection against insect pests and microbial diseases. This chapter aims to critically underscore the importance of geoinformatics, nanoparticles, and nanobionics as emerging tools for achieving sustainable agriculture.
