Complete resource covering theory and practical applications to solve modern agricultural challenges and enhance productivity, sustainability, and food safety

Nanotechnology Innovations for Food Security and Sustainable Agriculture addresses the pressing challenges of modern agriculture and food security by demonstrating how nanotechnology can provide innovative solutions. It solves problems related to low crop yields, inefficient pest control, and inadequate food safety measures by introducing advanced nanoscale materials and techniques. By showcasing practical applications of nanotechnology in enhancing soil health, optimizing nutrient delivery, and improving pest management, the book offers strategies to increase agricultural productivity and sustainability.

It also tackles issues in food quality and safety through advanced nano-sensors and packaging solutions, ensuring that food production and distribution are both more efficient and secure. By bridging theoretical knowledge with practical applications, this comprehensive resource provides valuable insights into how nanotechnology can be influenced to achieve sustainable agricultural practices and enhance global food security.

In Nanotechnology Innovations for Food Security and Sustainable Agriculture, readers will find information on:

• Mechanisms, benefits, and future directions of nanofertilizers for soil health and fertility
• Nano-biofortification of cereal crops, addressing hidden hunger by enhancing nutritional content of staple foods
• Next generation agriculture with nanopesticides and nanofungicides, demonstrating how targeted, efficient solutions can minimize environmental impact
• The role of nanomaterials in modern plant disease management and potential health risks associated with nanoparticles
• Ethical, safety, and regulatory considerations in nanotechnology for agriculture

Nanotechnology Innovations for Food Security and Sustainable Agriculture serves as an essential resource on the subject for students and researchers, particularly those specializing in crop science, environmental science, and biotechnology, along with agricultural scientists and researchers, food safety and quality experts, farmers and agricultural practitioners, policy makers, and industry stakeholders.
