| Abstract | "Nanotechnology has the potential to drastically transform agri-food sector with its significant applications to improve the agricultural productivity, and efficiency of agrochemicals. Food sector has been benefitted through the inclusion of nanoparticles in food matrix, and nanoencapsulation of nutraceuticals. Smart packaging materials designed with the help of nanotechnology has been used for increasing shelf life of stored food products. Nanomaterials have been extensively used for the delivery of important agrochemicals to enhance their bio efficacy, prevent them from degradation, and controlled release. Various nanomaterials have been explored for remediation of arising environmental issues. Nanotechnology also has made useful contribution in utilization of huge agricultural and food wastes for production of valuable products. The existing and the emerging applications of nanotechnology will add to environmental sustainability. Nanotechnology for Sustainable Agriculture, Food and Environment has been structured to provide a widespread coverage and up to date progress of nanotechnology and its applications in agri-food sector and environmental remediation. Synthesis of value-added nanomaterials from agri-food wastes and their potential applications in environmental remediation has been explored. In addition, toxicity issues of nanomaterials have also been discussed. Features Elaborated information on use of nanotechnology for sustainable agriculture In-depth study about valorisation of agri-food waste An overview of applications of nanotechnology in environmental remediation Toxicity analysis of nanotechnology-based products We aim to satisfy the need of reference book for scientists, researchers, academicians and students in nanotechnology, agricultural, food, nutraceuticals, environmental and material sectors"-- Provided by publisher. |
