Abstract

Nanotechnology has a wide range of uses, and synthesizing new and useful nanoparticles from different sources produced by nature for agri-food applications is commonly regarded as a sustainable strategy that is less harmful for human and animal use. As a result, this study focuses on the developments in the formation of nano-delivery systems using polymers generated from nature for agri-food applications. This book chapter begins with a section describing the many categories of nature-derived polymers now used in a range of applications in the fertilizer industry sector, focusing on toxicity and perception of nano-encapsulated fertilizers. We highlight the main uses of nano-delivery systems in the agricultural industry, such as pesticide-controlled release using nature-derived polymers. © 2024 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
