Advanced technology for sustainable farming to increase yield
Nanotechnology plays an integral part in crop production with the help of controlling nutrients, monitoring water quality, and using pesticides. Sustainable development in agriculture improves food quality with a view to the future. Nanoparticle technology helps in developing a sustainable environment and also supports in management of resources for agriculture. Fertilizers, herbicides, and pests controlling nanoparticles help in maintaining soil fertility. Nanoparticles such as carbon dots, graphene oxide, and fullerenes are used for the improvement of seed quality. Hence, the study on the implication of nanotechnology in the agricultural sector has become an essential factor for sustainable development. Government investment and initiatives to adopt modern agricultural technology due to increasing population, rising demand for food products, and increasing awareness in consumers towards their food safety are growing the market.
Furthermore, the global agricultural nanotechnology market is driven by existing agrochemical companies because they are investigating the potential of nanotechnologies to achieve high efficiency and greater penetration of technology into agricultural components used for plants. Various nano-products specifically used in the agricultural sector have been launched in the market by technology-oriented mid-sized companies that produce soil-enhancement products that promote even water distribution, storage, and consequently water saving. The nanotechnology market has expanded substantially in the agriculture sector. Research has been carried out in the commercial agrochemical sector to gauge the potential advantages of nanotechnology in agriculture. The emergence of nanotechnology applications in consumer products has also increased the number of ethical and societal concerns in some countries, which include health and environmental safety, consumer perception, and intellectual property rights.
However, due to a lack of knowledge, farmers are not using nanotechnology in agriculture. Developing countries like India and China, where farmers use conventional methods for agriculture production, don't even know about nanotechnology use in farming.
Nano fertilizers segment is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period
Nanotechnology has shown its potential to produce growth in the agricultural sector via the utilization of nano pesticides, nano fertilizers,s, and products such as nanosensors. Nano fertilizers promote the slow and steady liberation of nutrients by enhancing the productivity of the soil. They increase nutrient use efficiency and decrease the loss of nutrients which enhances market growth. Enhancement in the photosynthetic function in plants produced due to increased availability of nutrients leads to high yield and dry matter production. The use of nano fertilizers proves helpful because it decreases the frequency of utilization of chemical fertilizers and hence soil toxicity. Thus, nanotechnology can prove as a technique with immense potential for improving agricultural productivity and helping us achieve sustainable agriculture. Nano fertilizers are the most promising engineered elements experimented with for soil. Positive outcomes have been achieved using nano fertilizers. Nano fertilizers can be classified as nanoscale fertilizers, nanoscale additives, and nanoscale coatings; these three types of nano fertilizers deactivate and condense the nutrient.
North America is expected to dominate the global agricultural nanotechnology market during the forecast period
North America leads the global agriculture nanotechnology market with the highest share, as many countries such as the United States and Canada are the initial adopters of agriculture nanotechnologies. The surge in population is compelling a shift towards smart agriculture practices. Europe held a significant market revenue share of XX% in the year 2020. The growth of European agricultural technology can be attributed to the high adoption rate for agricultural nanotechnology, increase startup activity in agriculture innovation,n, and crowdfunding for agricultural innovations. Asia Pacific is expected to grow with the highest CAGR of XX% during the forecast period. Asia-Pacific nanotechnological market is likely to expand with a considerable growth rate in the coming years due to the rising call for processed food and development in the agriculture sector. Population growth, disposable income,e and increasing demand for agricultural technology drive the growth of the agricultural nanotechnology market in the Asia-Pacific region
