ABSTRACT

Globally, initiatives to clean up the environment and agriculture are increasing as worries about pollution, climate change, and food security grow. Novel approaches are being explored, such as the removal and degradation of pollutants using cutting-edge materials like zinc oxide (ZnO) nanostructures. These solutions put sustainability first, seeking to improve soil health and agricultural fertiliser management while reducing environmental harm. Farming techniques are undergoing a transformation as a result of nanotechnology, which is lowering environmental hazards, increasing efficiency, and creating nano fertilisers and sensors. This change is a result of a growing understanding of how environmental and agricultural issues are interwoven, which is motivating the use of holistic approaches to guarantee sustainability and resilience in the face of changing threats. This study focuses on zinc oxide (ZnO) nanostructures as prospective instruments for combating environmental pollution and improving agricultural sustainability. ZnO nanostructures have strong photocatalytic activity, destroying different organic contaminants under sun radiation. In agriculture, nano fertilizers increase soil quality, plant development, and crop output. Furthermore, ZnO nanoparticles enable precision agriculture through nano sensor applications. The study critically assesses current advances in ZnO nanostructure production, characterisation, and application, addressing important difficulties and emphasising their promise for long-term solutions to pollution reduction and agricultural development.
