Abstract
Human activities have caused overexploitation of natural resources and consequent environmental degradation. Population growth requires an increasing world production of food and encourages the use of chemical inputs to potentialize production. The pest attack is responsible for about 45% of the losses in annual food production. The use of insecticides and herbicides has caused detrimental impacts on the environment. Persistence and the potential for contamination have been the biggest problem related to issues of human health and environmental pollution. In recent years, there has been an increasing emphasis on green and sustainable remediation. Biogenic nanomaterials and the integration of nanoremediation and bioremediation techniques have currently been adopted as strategies to remedy these types of contamination. Several studies reported in the literature point to the efficiency of this type of technique, currently known as nanobioremediation. The impact and potential advantages of nanobiotechnology lead to the extreme recognition of this area with increasing importance in the sustainable remediation of contamination processes by agricultural inputs.
