Nanomaterials for Postharvest Management of Insect Pests: Current State and Future Perspectives

Frontiers in Nanotechnology, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 3

Published: Feb. 3, 2022

Globally, between one quarter and one-third of total grains produced each year are lost during storage mainly through infestation insect pests. Among the available control options such as chemical physical techniques, fumigation with aluminum phosphide (AlP) is so far considered best strategy against However, these pests now developing resistance AIP due to its indiscriminate use non-availability any effective alternative option. Resistance among increasing, inhalation has shown adverse effects on animals human beings. Nanotechnology opened up a wide range opportunities in various fields agriculture (pesticides, fertilizers, etc.), pharmaceuticals, electronics. One applications nanotechnology usage nanomaterial-based insecticide formulations for mitigating field Several formulations, namely, nanoemulsions, nanosuspensions, controlled release solid-based nanopesticides, have been developed different modes action application. The major advantage their small size which helps proper spreading pest surface, thus, better than conventional pesticides achieved. Besides minute size, no or reduced harmful non-target species. Nanopesticides can therefore provide green efficient alternatives management storage. an outcry utilization nano-based also revealed. It by some that nano-insecticides may hazardous humans well environment. Due limited data, nanopesticides become double-edged weapon. Therefore, nanomaterials need be evaluated extensively large-scale adoption. In this article, we reviewed nanoformulations proved under postharvest grains.

Sustainable food cold chain logistics: From microenvironmental monitoring to global impact

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 21(5), P. 4189 - 4209

Published: July 29, 2022

Abstract Food cold chain logistics (FCCL) is a systematic engineering process involving the use of low‐temperature environment to maintain quality and safety perishable food reduce loss waste (FLW). From mechanism perspective, FCCL must balance resource costs for required level with greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. In context global warming, sustainability trade‐off between FLW environmental impact has recently become an important topic in research on efficient, green FCCL. This mainly reflected technological innovation, management optimization, policy responses. With focus three levels (micro, meso, macro), this review analyzes current areas gaps challenges microenvironmental monitoring, life cycle assessment (LCA), impact. Future trends pertaining technology, management, industry sustainable development are also summarized. be intelligent, systematic, low carbon. Industry empowerment through next‐generation information technologies (e.g., IoT, AI, big data, blockchain) will promote multidimensional perception, real‐time transmission, control as well support LCA transformation from fragmentation system integration. macro level, due serious food, scale demand growing greatly, causing huge burden. Global cooperation, low‐carbon consensus, appropriate policies basis promoting development.

Learning from the past to plan for the future: An historical review of the evolution of waste and resource management 1970–2020 and reflections on priorities 2020–2030 – The perspective of an involved witness

Waste Management & Research The Journal for a Sustainable Circular Economy, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 41(12), P. 1754 - 1813

Improving waste and resource management (WaRM) around the world can halve weight of plastics entering oceans, significantly mitigate global heating contribute directly to 12 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs). Achieving such results demands understanding learning from historical evolution WaRM. The baseline is 1970, prior environmental legislation. Early steps in Global North focused on 'technical fix' within strictly enforced legal frameworks, first bringing hazardous wastes municipal solid (MSW) under control, then gradually ramping up standards. Using modern technologies South often failed due institutional financial constraints. From 1990, focus switched integrating technical governance aspects: local coherence, sustainability, provider inclusivity, user national legislative policy framework. rediscovered recycling, using measures promote segregation at source; this relied new markets emerging economies, which had largely disappeared by 2020. making progress but 2.7 billion people lack access collection, while ~40% collected MSW open dumped or burned – a continuing emergency. So, much remains be done move further towards circular economy. Three priorities are critical for all countries: financing, rethinking recycling worldwide extended producer responsibility with teeth. Extending services unserved communities (SDG11.6.1) requires people-centred approach, working provide both quality decent livelihoods collection workers.
