This book examines how nature and advanced science can work together to develop sustainable innovations for healthcare, agriculture, food safety, and environmental applications. Aromatic plants, rich in essential oils and bioactive compounds, provide renewable resources for the green synthesis of nanoparticles, reducing the need for hazardous chemicals.

The book provides a broad overview of the preparation, characterization, and application of plant-derived nanoparticles across different fields. Their potential antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, anticancer, and wound-healing properties are discussed, together with their use in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and food packaging to improve performance and safety.

Agricultural applications are also addressed, including nanopriming, biofertilizers, and natural nanopesticides aimed at improving crop productivity and supporting more sustainable farming practices. In addition, plant-based nanomaterials are presented as promising tools for the removal or reduction of pollutants and heavy metals from the environment.

Bringing together expertise from botany, nanotechnology, and biomedical sciences, the book connects fundamental research with practical applications. It also considers sustainability, regulatory aspects, safety, and future opportunities in green nanotechnology, making it a useful resource for researchers, professionals, and students interested in the development of environmentally responsible nanotechnologies.
