商品描述

Nanotechnology has shown great potential to alleviate increasing pressure to meet food needs for our increasing human population, Novel agricultural innovations are required to enhance the health of edible crops and per unit area yield without impacting the associated environment in a negative way. Recent advancements in nanotechnology-based agricultural solutions have proven to help overcome the problems in agriculture that are associated with run-off of essential fertilizers from agricultural soils, low nutrient accumulation by crops, as well as to control insects, pests, and seasonal biotic factors, treatment of wastewater used for irrigation, plant uptake of xenobiotics (heavy metals, pesticides, industrial chemicals, drugs, and so on) that may be present in contaminated soils. Additionally, the consumption of such food crops may result in malnourishment and plant-mediated transfer of toxic substances among humans especially in underprivileged and rural populations.

Agents to stimulate plant growth include various types of nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes, metal, and metal-oxide nanoparticles. Applications of particular nutrients or elements in crop plants can be shown to aid human nourishment (either by directly inducing its uptake or indirectly through enhancing the intracellular levels of other associated elements that ultimately boost the synthesis of the desired nutrient in plants).

It is also important to consider the competence and fate of nanomaterials in soil ecosystems. The entry route of nanomaterials into the environment includes both natural and anthropogenic sources. In order to achieve sustainable and safe use of nanotechnological products in agriculture, similar environmental conditions must be simulated on lab scale with the careful selection of organisms related to agriculture. Thus, emphasis should be placed on the judicial use of nano-enabled products without compromising the sustainability of the environment and human health.

This comprehensive book highlights recent field research as well as contributions from academicians in the lab. This book addresses the major aspects related to nanotechnology, biofortification of crops, and human and environmental health.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

奈米技術顯示出巨大的潛力，可以緩解日益增加的人口對食物需求的壓力。需要創新的農業技術來提升可食用作物的健康和每單位面積的產量，同時不對環境造成負面影響。最近在基於奈米技術的農業解決方案方面的進展已證明能夠幫助克服與農業相關的問題，例如農業土壤中必需肥料的流失、作物的低養分積累，以及控制昆蟲、害蟲和季節性生物因素，處理用於灌溉的廢水，以及植物對可能存在於受污染土壤中的外來物質（重金屬、農藥、工業化學品、藥物等）的吸收。此外，這類食物作物的消費可能導致營養不良，並在特別是弱勢和農村人口中引發植物介導的有毒物質在人類之間的轉移。

刺激植物生長的劑包括各種奈米材料，如碳納米管、金屬和金屬氧化物奈米顆粒。在作物植物中應用特定的養分或元素已被證明有助於人類的營養（無論是通過直接促進其吸收，還是通過間接提高其他相關元素的細胞內水平，最終促進植物中所需養分的合成）。

同時，考慮奈米材料在土壤生態系統中的競爭力和命運也很重要。奈米材料進入環境的途徑包括自然來源和人為來源。為了實現奈米技術產品在農業中的可持續和安全使用，必須在實驗室規模上模擬類似的環境條件，並仔細選擇與農業相關的生物。因此，應強調在不妨礙環境和人類健康可持續性的情況下，合理使用奈米增能產品。

這本綜合性的書籍突顯了最近的實地研究以及學術界在實驗室的貢獻。本書涉及與奈米技術、作物的生物強化以及人類和環境健康相關的主要方面。
