The current global population is nearly 6 billion; due to this rapid population growth, there is a need to produce food in a more efficient, safe, and sustainable way, and it should be safe from the adverse effects of pathogenic organisms. A large proportion of population living in developing countries face daily food shortages as a result of environmental impacts or some other reasons like political instability, etc., while in the developed countries, food is surplus. For developing countries, the objective is to develop drought-and pest-resistant crops, with maximized yield. In developed countries, the food industry depends on consumer's demand for fresher and healthier foodstuffs. The present chapter describes the use of nanoparticles in food science.
