This book assesses the current challenges and opportunities for the next generation of
agriculture and food science. Examining the role of nanotechnology and the application of
related tools and techniques to transform the future of food it also discusses in detail
nanotechnology in food production processing and packaging as well as the benefits of and
concerns regarding nanofoods (nanotoxicity and food forensics). Considering the potential of
IoT to revolutionize agriculture and the food industry by radically reducing costs and
improving productivity and profits the book highlights the necessity of integrating IoT and
nanotechnology into the next generation of agriculture and food science. Further it presents a
detailed analysis of IoNT implementation together with the goals that have to be met in order
to achieve significant improvements in the agri-food sector. In addition it explores a range of
challenges risks and concerns that have a direct or indirect impact on nanotechnology and
IoNT implementation in agriculture and the food industry. In closing it discusses the use of
green nanotechnology and green IoNT in order to create smart safe and sustainable agriculture
and healthy food.
