Nanotecnología, Fertilizantes, agricultura sostenible, nanopartículasResumen
El uso excesivo de fertilizantes químicos en la agricultura ha propiciado el deterioro de los suelos y la contaminación del agua. Además, los problemas ocasionados por el cambio climático reducen la posibilidad de producir alimentos de calidad y que puedan abastecer las necesidades de la población mundial. Ante estos problemas, se han buscado alternativas de fertilización sostenibles para la agricultura. En este sentido, la nanotecnología es una herramienta nueva y con un alto potencial para incrementar y mejorar la producción de alimentos. El uso de nanomateriales como nanofertilizantes favorece el desarrollo de una agricultura sostenible al suministrar concentraciones bajas que pueden no afectar los ecosistemas. Debido a sus propiedades fisicoquímicas dadas por su escala nanométrica tienen la capacidad de eficientizar el uso de los nutrientes y aumentar muchos procesos bioquímicos y fisiológicos que se reflejarán en el rendimiento de los cultivos. Sin embargo, existen pocos estudios del impacto negativo que puede tener el uso de los nanofertilizantes en los ecosistemas a lo largo del tiempo, lo anterior debido a su poca o nula regulación. Por lo anterior, la regulación de los nanofertilizantes y su uso adecuado son necesarios para garantizar su sostenibilidad y un menor impacto ambiental. El objetivo de la presente investigación fue analizar la importancia de los nanofertilizantes en la agricultura sostenible moderna.
