Nanotechnology is rapidly advancing, offering significant knowledge and industrial applications that benefit society. While initial applications focused on material sciences, its use in agriculture and food sectors is just beginning to unfold. With population growth driving the need for more efficient, safe, and sustainable food production, nanotechnology presents promising solutions to enhance crop yields, improve water quality, and ensure food security. Despite the potential, comprehensive reviews and textbooks on this topic are scarce. This book comprises 10 chapters detailing the synthesis and application of nanomaterials in health, food, and agriculture. Unique properties of nanomaterials are set to revolutionize these fields, with applications such as nanofertilizers for plant growth and nanosensors for food contamination detection. The first two chapters provide an overview of nanotechnology's 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 advanced nanostructures. Nanosensors for detecting pathogenic bacteria are also discussed, highlighting their role in monitoring food and water quality. Food applications, including improved packaging and protection of essential ingredients, are examined in the final chapters.
