The application of nanotechnologies to the agrifood sector provides one of the innovative tools able to support change in a system that, through its intensification and industrialization, currently fails both humans and the environment. The development of green nanotechnology, which exploits biological routes for the synthesis of nanomaterials, and specifically aims to minimize the production of hazardous substances and the input of energy, further underlines the disruptive potential of this technology. Due to the lack of toxic chemicals during their synthesis and to their high adaptability, green nanomaterials thus produced have a wide application domain, and this is reflected in the number of sustainable development goals affected by their use. This review describes the last trends on the eco-designed nanomaterials produced by means of green strategies for application in agriculture, such as nanofertilisers, nanopesticides, and nano(bio)sensors.

纳米技术在农业食品领域的应用提供了一种创新的工具，能够支持系统的变革，通过其集约化和工业化，目前人类和环境都无法生存。绿色纳米技术的发展，它利用生物途径来合成纳米材料，并特别旨在最大程度地减少有害物质的产生和能量的输入，这进一步突显了该技术的破坏性潜力。由于合成过程中缺乏有毒化学物质及其高度适应性，因此生产的绿色纳米材料具有广泛的应用领域，这反映在受其使用影响的可持续发展目标的数量上。
