Aims

Nowadays, conventional agriculture faces many challenges in the complex scenario of climate change, global population rise, and lack of resources. In this sense, Nanotechnology represents a sustainable way to boost agri-food supply chains by reducing emissions, lowering the number of agrochemicals, and giving innovative tools to manage crops.

The course will give a deepened overview of the potential use of nanotechnology in agri-food applications. Topics will include the application of nanotechnology in plant nutrition and protection, nanomaterials design and characterization, and environmental and human safety.
