Nanoscience and technology as a pivot for sustainable agriculture and its One Health approach awareness

Goshen David Miteu et al. Sci One Health. .

Abstract

Nanoscience and technology have shown promise in revitalizing the agricultural sector and industries. This tool has gained the interest of many researchers as it can be utilized to drive sustainable agriculture by suggesting long-lasting solutions to different problems in the agricultural space. However, there is a paucity of data on its health implications for the environment, plants, animals, and humans. This review evaluated the cost-effectiveness and productivity of nanoscience and technologies. The review highlighted the underlying health implications of nanoscience and technology from a One Health perspective.

Keywords: Agriculture; Nanoscience; One Health approach; One Health awareness; Technology.
