Sustainability of agricultural practices faces unprecedented challenges in the 21st century, exacerbated by climate change, soil degradation, water scarcity, and population growth. To address these challenges and ensure food security for future generations, there is an urgent need for innovative solutions that promote sustainable agricultural practices while optimizing resource use efficiency and minimizing environmental impacts. In recent years, agro-textiles have emerged as promising tools for enhancing agricultural sustainability by improving soil health, water management, pest control, and crop productivity. Agro-textiles serve diverse functions, from protecting crops and soil to optimizing resource use. Based on their specific use, they are divided into various types: anti-hail nets to protect crops from extreme weather, mulch mats to manage weeds and conserve moisture, thermal screens and shade for temperature regulation, and geotextiles to stabilize and prevent soil erosion. The study showcased the advancement of environmentally friendly and biodegradable agro-textiles, which are becoming more popular because of their smaller environmental impact. The potential of novel fiber technologies, such as nanotechnology, natural fibers, and recycled materials, to further transform agro-textile applications is investigated. Agro-textiles have a lot of potential to improve agricultural sustainability. Nonetheless, issues like price, robustness, and the requirement for broad adoption still exist. Innovative solutions to major issues in agriculture, such as soil erosion, water scarcity, and environmental degradation, can be found in agro-textile goods. The effectiveness, application, and sustainability of these products must be further advanced by ongoing research and development in agro-textile technology. Only then can food security and environmental stewardship be guaranteed in the face of changing agricultural needs and difficulties.
