SİLİ, S. (2024). Application Of Nanoparticles In Sustainable And Organic Agriculture For Biofortified Food. University Of Padova, Faculty Of Science, Department Of Land, Environment, Agriculture And Forestry, Food and Health Master Thesis, Padova, Italy. This review work investigates the effects of nanoparticle applications on sustainable and organic agriculture of biologically fortified foods presented in recent articles. Biofortification is a method of increasing the nutritional content of seeds, plants, or food with vitamins and minerals, or by adding micro and macro content that the food does not contain. This approach can increase for example Vitamin A and vitamin D and minerals such as iron, iodine, zinc, selenium, magnesium, and phosphorus, thus helping to reduce malnutrition in developed and developing countries. The biofortification method can be done through the combined adoption of genetics, agronomy, and nanoparticles. When biofortification is applied genetically, it is added to the food with a gene combination created in a laboratory environment. Besides this method improves the structure of the food nutritionally, it does not affect the food's appearance and taste. Agronomic biofortification, on the other hand, is done through cropping, fertilization, microorganism inoculation, and seed priming. These systems when applied together or alone, help improve the nutrient uptake of the plant, protect the plant from pathogens, contribute to development, and increase the grain yield. Nanotechnology is used in many fields such as science, physics, and medicine. In the food system, particles of 1-100 nm size, called nanoparticles, are used with biofortification. These particles can be used in various forms, such as fertilizer, particle, sensor, or encapsulation. Nanoparticles, thanks to their size and high reactivity, provide rapid results that are in line with the purpose being applied. All in all, biofortification supports food security and contributes to the reduction of malnutrition, also increasing bioavailability as nutrients are used more effectively in the body. In addition, environmentally friendly methods also provide opportunities for sustainable agricultural practices as many factors influence soil quality and contribute to the protection of natural resources.
