“…Many countries will increase investment and research and development efforts in this field to improve competitiveness. For research and development investment in nanotechnologies, the USA invested Under the support and participation of governments, various industry associations, enterprises, and private companies (research institutes), India has made great progress in the research and application of nanotechnologies and is taking the leading position among developing countries (Sarma and Anand 2012). In recent years, China has also attached great importance to the research of nanotechnologies and focused large amounts of manpower, financial resources, and material resources for research and development in this field.…”

Nanoscience emerged in the late 1980s and is developed and applied in China since the middle of the 1990s. Although nanotechnologies have been less developed in agronomy than other disciplines, due to less investment, nanotechnologies have the potential to improve agricultural production. Here, we review more than 200 reports involving nanoscience in agriculture, livestock, and aquaculture. The major points are as follows: (1) nanotechnologies used for seeds and water improved plant germination, growth, yield, and quality. (2) Nanotechnologies could increase the storage period for vegetables and fruits. (3) For livestock and poultry breeding, nanotechnologies improved animals immunity, oxidation resistance, and production and decreased antibiotic use and manure odor. For instance, the average daily gain of pig increased by 9.9-15.3 %, the ratio of feedstuff to weight decreased by 7.5-10.3 %, and the diarrhea rate decreased by 55.6-66.7 %. (4) Nanotechnologies for water disinfection in fishpond increased water quality and increased yields and survivals of fish and prawn. (5) Nanotechnologies for pesticides increased pesticide performance threefold and reduced cost by 50 %. (6) Nano urea increased the agronomic efficiency of nitrogen fertilization by 44.5 % and the grain yield by 10.2 %, versus normal urea. (7) Nanotechnologies are widely used for rapid detection and diagnosis, notably for clinical examination, food safety testing, and animal epidemic surveillance. (8) Nanotechnologies may also have adverse effects that are so far not well known.

“…In India, the progression of nanotechnology has been dynamic and comprehensive, marking its presence in various sectors, including electronics, health care, energy, and notably food and agriculture (Table 1). India's nanotechnology journey commenced with the inception of the "Nano Science and Technology Initiative" (NSTI) in 2001 [64]. This endeavor was followed by a more significant "Nano Mission" in 2007, which facilitated the integration of academic institutions, research laboratories, and industries to propel nanotechnology innovations (DST, 2007).…”

The swift proliferation of nanotechnology is revolutionizing the conventional sectors of food and agriculture, with remarkable innovations such as intelligent and responsive packaging, Nano sensors, nano-based pesticides and fertilizers. An array of new nanomaterials is being developed to enhance food safety and quality, boost crop yields, and monitor environmental parameters. This review explores the most recent advancements in nanotechnology focusing on the pressing challenges and potential opportunities in the food and agriculture sectors, based on various contemporary studies. The review also delves into the basic toxicology and risk assessment of nanomaterials employed in these new-generation food and agriculture products. Significant emphasis is placed on the potential application of bio-synthesized and bio-inspired nanomaterials for sustainable development. Fundamental questions related to high-performance, low-toxicity nanomaterials need resolution to boost the active evolution and application of nanotechnology. Legislative measures and regulations are crucial to oversee the manufacturing, processing, application, and disposal of nanomaterials. There is a pressing need for initiatives to amplify public awareness and acceptance of these novel nano-enabled food and agriculture products. Concluding the introduction of nanotechnology food and agriculture sectors offers a multitude of opportunities and a sustainable path forward.

Nanotechnology is a varied area of technology which offers with floor technology, organic chemistry, molecular biology, semiconductor physics and micro-fabrication and so on. It's far the usage of era on the nano (10-9) degree. A fundamental definition of nanotechnology is the examine manipulation and manufacture of highly minute machines or devices. The related studies and applications are similarly diverse, ranging from extension of conventional physics to completely new techniques primarily based upon developing new substances with new dimensions on nanoscale. Scientists presently debate the destiny implications of nanotechnology. Nanotechnology can be capable of create many new substances and gadgets with a great variety of applications, which embody medication, electronics, biomaterials and so on. From the contemporary overview paper we are able to finish that nanomaterial's is located to have massive applications in diverse fields which have been described inside the paper. So, we can finish that Nanotechnology performs a prime position in nowadays studies paintings.
