摘要: Global food security faces immense pressure from population growth and climate change, demanding sustainable agricultural intensification. While biochar offers promise for soil enhancement and carbon sequestration, its large-scale application requires significant biomass feedstock and energy-intensive production, raising economic and carbon footprint concerns. Nano-enabled foliar feeding is gaining momentum, but practical, eco-efficient field use from lab to farm remains challenging. Bridging this gap is essential for realizing nano-enabled agriculture without exacerbating environmental burdens. Here, we demonstrate on-site conversion of ecologically safe flash graphene via flash joule heating. Spraying 18 g/hectare of this graphene, produced from 75 g (<0.001%) of crop residues per hectare, on multi-crops over two seasons increased yields by 9.1%–27.3% through enhanced photosynthesis and alleviated oxidative stress. Compared to biochar, this approach reduces farmers’ inputs by 86%–91% and lowers life-cycle carbon emissions by up to 10,000-fold. We offered a self-sufficient, scalable, and climate-smart circular foliar feeding pathway to advance food security sustainably.
