Nanotechnology applications in advancing agriculture and food technology

Nanotechnology has the potential to make agriculture significantly moreproductive, reducedrudgery and more profitable. NT towards agriculture and food biotechnology has received substantialattention due to its innovative and advanced applications over the conventional agriculture and foodprocessing approaches. Although, the applications of nanotechnology in the field of chemistry andphysics are well studied as a result several products are already in the market, the significance ofnanotechnology in the area of agriculture and food is relatively novel and therefore, not so widely known. Slow but significant progress towards the nanotechnology implementing in agriculture and food hasbeen made both in the developed and developing countries across the world. The highlights thenanomaterial applications to agriculture and food industries describingrecent trends and futureperspectives considering smart agriculture, processing, packaging, security, and storage.
