Author Description

<i>Nano-enabled Sustainable and Precision Agriculture</i> is the first single-volume resource to cover this important field using a whole systems approach that considers both opportunities and challenges. The book provides a comprehensive understanding of the role of nanotechnology in agriculture from broad aspects, but also includes a comprehensive view of the interaction of nanomaterials with soil-plant systems. It highlights aspects not described in previous books, including the application of nanoinformatics and artificial intelligence in nano-enabled sustainable agriculture, the application of nanotechnology in alternative forms of agriculture such as hydroponics, and regulatory frameworks for this research field.<br/><br/>The book addresses all these aspects by including sections on enhanced sustainability, reduced pollution and enhanced ecosystems' health, and the role of nanoinformatics and machine learning.<ul> <li>Provides foundational insights and resources for each area, including soil science, water chemistry, nanoscience, plant science, microbiology and nanoinformatics</li> <li>Focuses on mechanisms of action, transformations and the underpinning chemistry and biochemistry</li> <li>Includes linkages and cross-referencing between chapters to ensure a cohesive and comprehensive resource</li></ul>
