Abstract

Nanotechnology has made significant progress in agriculture, food science, environment and sustainability. The use of nano fertilizers, pesticides, and nanosensors has revolutionized resource utilization, nutrient delivery, and stress reduction in crops. These innovations have increased crop productivity and superior crop protection compared to traditional methods. Integrating nanotechnology into agriculture supports sustainable practices, addresses the increasing global food demand, ensures food security, and promotes environmental sustainability. In food science, nanotechnology plays a crucial role in improving food safety and quality by enabling the development of materials that extend shelf life, prevent spoilage, and enhance food safety through antimicrobial properties in food packaging. The emergence of nanosensors allows for real-time monitoring of food quality and safety, ensuring that consumers receive safe and high-quality products. These advancements reduce food waste and improve the overall efficiency of the food supply chain, contributing to food security and sustainable practices. As research advances, incorporating nanotechnology into agriculture and food systems is set to play a vital role in shaping the future of sustainable food production. However, potential risks and economic implications must be carefully considered to ensure that the benefits of nanotechnology are realized without compromising environmental integrity or human health.
