The
pressure for more sustainable, environmentally friendly Agriculture is a trend
that affects its value chain in several levels, including the production of
fertilizers, the management of pesticides and other chemicals, and solutions
for the related greenhouse gas emissions (N2O, NOx, CH4,
and CO2). Moreover, the search for value motivates novel routes to
utilize biomass in chemical production, including sustainable fuels. These
topics are interconnected to developing photocatalytic materials, i.e., those
promoting reactions by light activation, primarily through the sunlight. Thus,
this presentation summarizes the many efforts done to develop adequate
materials for photocatalysis in the context of Agriculture problems, discussing
the recent advances and challenges for application in the real world.
