Abstract

Agriculture today stands at the intersection of unprecedented challenges including soil degradation water scarcity climate change environmental pollution and unsustainable farming practices driven by intensive chemical inputs. The need for sustainable agricultural strategies has never been more urgent. Green chemistry and agricultural polymers have emerged as transformative tools that can promote sustainability reduce environmental footprints enhance soil quality improve nutrient efficiency and minimize harmful chemical residues in agricultural ecosystems. Green chemistry principles emphasize designing chemical processes that reduce toxicity waste and ecological impact while polymers—both natural and synthetic—play key roles in controlled-release fertilizers soil conditioning water retention biodegradable mulches and pest management systems. This research paper explores the integration of green chemistry and polymers as a foundation for sustainable agriculture highlighting the scientif
