| Abstract | ||||
| As a backbone of any nation, agriculture is the main supplier for our needed from food, feed, fiber and fuel. The production of vegetables is one on the main pillars of the agricultural production for human nutrition. This production nowadays has a serious problem, which may lead to many problems for human health. So, the “from farm to fork or F2F” initiative was launched last 2020 for healthy and eco-friendly food system. This study is a photographic mini-review on the strategy of F2F and the importance to produce healthy food like edible vegetables. The main targets of this strategy may include preventing food loss and waste, sustaining the production, and processing of food, its distribution, and consumption. The nano-farming expresses on using different nanomaterials in different agricultural practices of vegetables like nano-priming, nanofertilization, nano-pesticides, nano-harvesting, and nano-postharvest. The current work was designed to answer about the main question: can nano-farming support the F2F strategy? More open questions will be presented in this study. | ||||
