Nanotechnology is a rapidly advancing field that offers significant knowledge and industrial applications benefiting society. While initial applications focused on material sciences, its use in agriculture and food is emerging, driven by the need for efficient, safe, and sustainable food production due to population growth. Nanotechnology promises enhancements in crop production, water quality, nutrition, packaging, and food security. However, comprehensive reviews and clear textbooks on this topic are limited. This book contains 10 chapters detailing the synthesis and application of nanomaterials in health, food, and agriculture. Unique nanomaterials are set to transform agriculture and food production, with applications such as nanofertilizers for improved plant growth and nanosensors for food contamination detection. The first two chapters provide an overview of nanotechnology applications in agriculture, food, water, and the environment. Subsequent chapters explore health and environmental applications, including green methods for synthesizing metal nanoparticles for water purification and the removal of contaminants using nanostructured materials. Nanosensors for detecting pathogenic bacteria and improving food and water quality are also discussed, along with advancements in packaging quality and the protection of food ingredients through nanoparticles.
