| Abstract | Nanotechnology is revolutionizing agricultural and food waste in underdeveloped countries via sustainable agriculture and circular economy application. This review critically assesses nanotechnology-powered technologies' ability to solve agricultural waste management and resource utilization problems. With its nanoscale specific engineering, nanotechnology provides remarkable waste valorization efficiency improvements. Advanced sensors for real-time agricultural process monitoring, resource optimization, and waste reduction are possible using nanomaterials and nanodevices. Nanocatalysts also convert organic waste into biofuels and biobased compounds, supporting the circular economy. The study focuses nanotechnology-enabled precision farming, which boosts agricultural yields while reducing resource inputs. Targeted and regulated fertilizer and pesticide nanoscale delivery technologies reduce environmental impact and optimize nutrient use. Nanosensors in agricultural systems provide data-driven sustainable farming decisions. The critical evaluation emphasizes responsible and inclusive nanotechnology deployment in emerging countries and its socio-economic effects. Environmental and health problems must be addressed to successfully integrate nanotechnology into agriculture. The study suggests strategic nanotechnology integration in poor countries' agricultural sectors to revolutionize waste valorization, resource efficiency, and circular economy implementation. The report emphasizes the need for academics, policymakers, and stakeholders to work together to responsibly and ethically use nanotechnology for sustainable agricultural growth. |
