摘要
Nanotechnology emerges, poised to transform agriculture and food production. Nanoparticles and nanodevices show promise as pesticides, fertilizers and additives. Benefits encompass enhanced nutrient absorption, precise pesticide delivery, functional foods and extended shelf life. Yet, challenges linger, like environmental concerns, regulatory gaps, cost limitations and public apprehension. The path forward involves rigorous safety assessments, ethical considerations and sustainable practices. A future of nanotech in agriculture hinges on balancing innovation with careful vigilance, ensuring welfare for society and the planet.
