With the world’s population expected to exceed nine billion by 2050, scientists are working to develop new ways to meet rising global demand for food, energy and water without increasing the strain on natural resources. Organizations including the World Bank and the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization are calling for more innovation to address the challenges of the agri-food sector. Agriculture uses inefficiently the conventional inputs (water, energy, fertilizers, pesticides) and a significant fraction of them are lost or became unavailable to the crops. At the same time, agriculture (cultivation of crops, livestock and deforestation) is a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. The developing Agri-Nanotechniques will be implemented within the evolving science of precision agriculture, in which farmers use technology to target their use of water, fertilizer, plant protection products and other inputs. A second, broad potential application concerns the issues of reduction and valorization of agri-food wastes. The introduction of nanotechnologies in agriculture still need deepen both basic and applied knowledge, however several promising results were achieved, so far. A huge development is taking place in this sector, therefore nanotech applications currently under development will soon be overtaken NanoInnovation 2018 hosts the 2nd edition of the workshop “AgriNanoTechniques” co-organized by the Universities of Bologna, Parma, Verona and Udine. The workshop will be the forum for discussing the perspective of nanotechnologies in the primary sector among the stakeholders and scientific research. |
