Soil is crucial for sustaining life, providing essential nutrients, storing carbon, and supporting 95% of global food production. However, soil quality is declining due to factors like erosion and biodiversity loss. Only 11% of Earth’s surface is suitable for agriculture, and one-third of cultivable land is degraded. This degradation affects food security and contributes to climate change. Campaigns like the Global Soil Partnership and World Soil Day have been launched to address this issue. Human activities such as agriculture and urbanization accelerate soil degradation. Nanotechnology offers promising solutions, such as nanofertilizers and nanoparticles, to improve soil quality, reduce contaminants, and increase agricultural productivity.
