ThisSpringerimprintispublishedbytheregisteredcompanySpringerNatureSwitzerlandAG Theregisteredcompanyaddressis:Gewerbestrasse11,6330Cham,Switzerland Preface Agriculture is one of the fundamental sectors that can be never ignored by any society. The industrialization and growing human population have adverse effects on all sectors of agriculture, which may soon be resulting in a reduction in the production of various commodities like food, meat, milk, and so on. The world’s population is constantly increasing, while agricultural resources are constantly decreasing due to overexploitation. To meet additional demand for output from agriculture sector which can be sustainable, there isan immediate need for the use of new tools and technologies in all components of agriculture. For sustainable agricultural production in the future, we must be able to develop tools which can reducetheagriculturalinputsrequiredforoptimumproduction.Secondly,weneed todeveloptechnologieswhichcanreducethewastageofagriculturalproductsuntil itreachestotheconsumer.Forthis,thetraditional methodhasbeenroutinelyused with little success. An alternative strategy for sustainable agriculture is the use of novel technologies like biotechnology and nanotechnology. Theapplicationofnanomaterialsinagriculturesectorlikeinputdelivery,genetic engineering, animal health, precision farming, food processing industry, and water usehasavastscope.Itcanbeusedwiththeobjectiveslikereductionofpesticides, minimize nutrient losses through optimized nutrient management. The nanomate- rials and tools also can be used for quality enhancement and management offood products.It canincreaseinshelf life ofmeat andmilk products. Devices and tools like nanocapsules, nanoparticles, nanocomposites, and sensors developed through the application of nanotechnology can be used for the detection and treatment of plant and animal diseases, the increase of nutrients absorption by crop plants, the targeted delivery of active ingredients in animals and plants, along with water and timber treatment processes. The usage of targeted delivery and slow-releasing agrochemicals can reduce the damage to non-target organisms and the quantity released into the soil and water. Nanotechnology derived tools are also being explored in the field of plant and animal genetic improvement. Despite the potential advantages, the application of nanotechnology in agricul- turalsectorisstillcomparablytrivialandhasnotyetmadeittothemarketinterms ofrangeproductsthatareinhealthandelectronics.Likeothertechnologies,italso v vi Preface has some issues that still need to be addressed. So, there is a need of continuing research in the commercial agrochemical industry to utilize potential future advantages. The concern regarding the regulation and evaluation of safety of nanomaterials also needs to be addressed. The aim of this book is addressing the issue of knowledge gap. It is hoped that this book will interest students and researchers in the lasted outcomes of nanotechnology research in the field of agriculture andallied sciencesandencouragetheyoungresearcherstoexplorethis promising field. This book contains 27 chapters written by 72 eminent subject specialiststhatcoveredthediverseaspectsofnanotoolsforachievingsustainability in agriculture.
