Agricultural growth is significantly beneficial in reducing poverty and increasing per capita income. In low-income communities, agriculture contributes two to four times more effective growth than other sectors. However, agriculture-based growth is at high risk as climate change and other anthropogenic impacts reduce crop yields globally. Advanced development in the agricultural sector is needed to overcome intense poverty and poor agricultural practices to meet food demand for the projected population of around 9.7 billion by 2050. Sustainable strengthening of the agricultural sector aims to produce more and higher-quality yields without adverse impact on the environment. This concept creates a space to examine the quality and feasibility of different advanced techniques and approaches to improve the agricultural sector, taking into account the present biophysical status of the land, environment, community, and economy. In this context, nanotechnology is an advanced technique and the subject of intense research in both institute and industrial levels. Nanotechnology has potential applications in agriculture such as nanopesticides and nanofertilizers to increase crop yield;…
