Globally, iodine deficiency remains a significant public health issue, impacting billions and leading to severe health problems. In many inland and mountainous regions, the natural iodine content of soil is low, affecting the iodine levels in food crops grown there. The use of iodised soil is therefore advisable as a strategic agricultural intervention, primarily for the biofortification of crops to increase the dietary iodine intake for human and animal consumption.

According to research published in the Royal Society of Chemistry, nano-fertilizers have demonstrated remarkable increases in crop yields, with some studies showing improvements of up to 55% for wheat and 40% for rice. This incredible efficiency underscores the transformative benefits of nano nutrients across various fields, including agriculture and human health.
