Author(s): Azra Hicks

Agri-food nanotechnology is expected to become a major economic force soon. Nanotechnology is one of the most crucial tools in modern agriculture. The sustainability and protection of agriculturally produced foods, including crops for human consumption and animal nutrition, are the subject of agri-food topics. To increase crop yield and to cut down on the usage of pesticides, nanotechnology offers novel agrochemical agents and new delivery systems.
